Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

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

Steps:

  • 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.
