Broccoli Mac & Cheese Bake

Ingredients

3 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
4 cups fresh broccoli florets
½ cup butter, cubed
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon pepper
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 cans (12 ounces each) evaporated milk
2½ cups (10 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
½ cup crushed cornbread-flavored crackers (about 6 crackers)

Directions

  1. Cook macaroni according to package directions, adding broccoli during the last 3–4 minutes; drain.

  2. In a large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and salt until smooth; gradually stir in the evaporated milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in 2 cups cheese.
