Cheesy Broccoli & Onion Bake
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Place a steamer basket in a pot over boiling water, and steam the broccoli for about 5 minutes, until tender. Put the onions in a separate pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender. Arrange the broccoli and onions in the prepared baking dish.

  3. 3

    Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and stir in the flour until smooth. Whisk in the milk until thickened. Stir in the cream cheese until melted. Pour the mixture over the broccoli and onions. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese, then top with bread crumbs.

  4. 4

    Bake, covered, in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the cover, and continue baking for 30 minutes, until lightly browned.
