Weight Watchers Broccoli With Cheese Sauce image

I like to find different ways to make broccoli and especially those ways that are good for you. The recipe is 2 points per serving for a total of 4 servings. This recipe is very cheesy. If you like your vegetables more in the natural state, add more broccoli. This could affect the points values, though.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb fresh broccoli florets
1 1/2 cups nonfat milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large pot.
  • Place broccoli in a steamer basket and set over water.
  • Cover and steam until crisp-tender, about 5 to 6 minutes; drain and return to pot.
  • Alternatively, you can cook broccoli in microwave.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, whisk together milk and flour until blended; place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat to low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes; remove from heat. Whisk in cheese until melted; whisk in mustard and salt.
  • Pour sauce over broccoli and toss until coated.
  • Yields about 1 cup per serving.
