Ingredients Needed

• Broccoli
• Cheddar cheese
• Evaporated milk
• Flour
• Salt/Pepper
• Butter
• Buttery round crackers

Recipe Notes

• Broccoli:  Use fresh or frozen, your choice.  If you use frozen, let it defrost for a bit (20-30 minutes) beforehand.
• Cheese:  We  like sharp cheddar with this one.  However, Gouda, fresh Parmesan or Gruyere will all go well with the broccoli.
• Crackers:  Use a buttery round cracker or "Ritz" crackers.  You can use any brand you wish. 
• Evaporated Milk:  This can be found in the baking section of your grocery store.  If you wish to use regular milk, you can.  However, since evaporated milk is thicker,  I recommend adding a tablespoon of melted butter or sour cream/plain Greek yogurt for thickening.
