ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs broccoli, cut into 1-inch florets (about 6 cups)
- 1 tablespoon canola oil, divided
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1⁄4 teaspoons salt, divided
- 4 cups skim milk
- 1⁄3 cup cornstarch
- 2 cups reduced-fat cheddar cheese, preferably orange
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 4 cups shredded hash brown potatoes
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground pepper
- cooking spray
- 1⁄4 teaspoon Hungarian paprika, preferably hot
directions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Toss broccoli with 1 tablespoon oil in a large bowl. Spread out on a baking sheet and roast, stirring once halfway though, until just soft and browned in spots, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add beef and onion and cook, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon, until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire, garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- Whisk milk and cornstarch in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking often, until bubbling and thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 6 to 8 minutes total. Remove from the heat and stir in Cheddar, 3/4 teaspoon salt and turmeric until the cheese is melted.
- Spread the beef mixture in a 9-by-13-inch (or similar 3-quart) baking dish. Top with the broccoli and pour the cheese sauce evenly over the top.
- Combine potatoes, egg, pepper and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole. Coat the top with cooking spray.
- Bake the casserole until it is bubbling and the potatoes are beginning to brown, about 40 minutes. Sprinkle with paprika. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

I'm so sorry SV but this just did not meet the approval of my family. We love all the ingredients individually but together it just was not a good match. The cheese sauce is what really threw us all off - not sure what I would do to change it but unfortunately it just was not enjoyed. I did love the ease of preparing the dish and how cost effective it is as a main dish but somehow I feel it needs a different type of cheese sauce or less sauce to make this work for us.

I live in Knoxville, TN with DH, my beautiful son, and the most spoiled cat on the planet! I grew up in Cincinnati and landed in TN by way of Bloomington, IN and Santa Fe, NM. Needless to say, it's been a long, strange trip!!
To explain the name: I was veg for 11 years, vegan for 1. In the last year or so I started eating poultry and fish again, but my brother-in-law's nickname for me (smelly vegetarian) has always stuck.
Also...thanks a million to my Zaar fairy godperson :)!!!
