Directions

Breifly cook the fresh or frozen broccoli. While the broccoli is cooking, melt the margarine in a 2-quart saucepan. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper.

    I was looking for a recipe for broccoli with cheese sauce that used real cheese instead of processed cheese products. This really hit the spot. My husband won't stop raving about it. - 1/30/09
