Macaroni, Broccoli and Cheese Casserole
12 oz macaroni
10 oz broccoli cut into small florets (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 tsp salted butter
1/3 cup bread crumbs
3 tbsp lemon juice
2 1/2 cup fat free skim milk
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup onion diced
1 cup low fat sharp cheddar cheese shredded
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper ground
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Cook macaroni for 1 minute less than al dente according to the package directions. Add broccoli 3 minutes before the macaroni is finished. Drain macaroni and broccoli and return to the pot.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add bread crumbs and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes or until light golden brown. Transfer to a small bowl, mix with 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, and set aside.
4. In the same saucepan, whisk together milk and flour until blended, then add onion. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking frequently. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and whisk in cheddar cheese, mustard, salt, black pepper, and remaining 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese.
5. Pour sauce over the macaroni and broccoli and mix well to combine. Transfer to a baking dish and evenly sprinkle the top with bread crumbs.
6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly at the edges.
