Great easy recipe for making broccoli
You REALLY have to like Dijon
Husband enjoyed this broccoli recipe. Had just enough kick to it. Definitely one of my favorites.
Spiced up regular old broccoli but nothing to write home about.
added more mustard , was a nice change to just plain broccoli..
Very good
I put a little worchestershire or soy sauce in the mix, and thin with milk. Sometimes I use mozzarella or some soft cheese if I have it.
We loved this. I used shredded chese rather than cheese food
Adam LOVED it! First time he’s ever eaten broccoli and liked it. Dan likes it better the old way, but enjoyed the change. Going to try cutting them in half next time. Cooking time for this was 35-40 minutes. Cooked it in broiler pan bottom.
Great recipe!
very tasty change from our normal steamed broccoli. Definitely needs Velveta type cheese and just had to cut back a bit on Dijon. I feel that you have to use the ingredients given for this recipe to be a success otherwise do not expect good results and complain.
I guesstimated the cheese and cut it into bite sized chunks, let it sit out until room temperature. Be careful cooking this in the microwave, one minute on high could burn it easily. I did the cheese first for thirty seconds, then stirred it and added a good splash of milk and a spoonful of Dijon mustard and stirred it in real good, then nuked again for thirty seconds. I continued to add a little Dijon until it reached the taste I wanted, I never came to the full amount the recipe calls for, so I’d suggest add and taste, since Dijon can over power if you add too much. This was a very easy topping for steamed broccoli and my family said to make it again. I love Velveeta on broccoli and the added tang of the Dijon was a very nice touch. The milk helps thin it a bit so it pours nicely over your vegetables and keeps it from hardening up too quick when cooling off.
I lightened up the recipe with less cheese. I liked it!
I agree with the last reviewer. Don’t write a review that is totally useless. When I read reviews I am looking for valid information re: variations to the recipe. AND by the way I am 62 and this was a recipe my grandmother used when I was young except she used regular mustard….and we loved it.
Broccoli tossed with Dijon just didn’t appeal to me, neither in taste nor appearance. But cheese sauce made with Velveeta did! I don’t think I’ve had that since my kids were still at home, YEARS ago. I do like Dijon mustard, however, so I mixed it in a bowl with the cheese and a little milk and microwaved it, making a creamy cheese sauce with a little Dijon tang that I drizzled over the cooked broccoli. Great memories of kid-friendly meals and good old-fashioned comfort food, updated with a Dijon twist.
Made this for the Recipe Photo contest. 2 Tbsp. was a lot of dijon for just one head of broccoli for my taste. Even with cutting the dijon back quite a bit I found the flavors of the processed cheese (Velveeta) with the dijon to be a little strange.
This was delicious! I used shredded cheddar cheese because that’s all I had. Next time I will increase the amount of cheese slightly.
These flavors together did not appeal to me at all
Very easy and good. I didnt have Dijon so i just used regular mustard and it was still good! Even my 2 year old ate it. Whoo hoo 🙂 I will for sure use this again.
wonderful flavor… I topped with white cheddar cheese and it was good!
AWESOME. Love the tangy zip on this. I will try again w/ a lower fat cheese to see if I can remove some calories/fat from it, but other than that delicious way to eat the broc.
