Gourmet Broccoli

3 pkg. frozen chopped broccoli, cook as directed on pkg.

1 pkg. Stuffing Mix

2/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted

White sauce:

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups milk

Cook and drain broccoli, set aside. Make white sauce by melting the
butter and whisking in the flour to make a paste. Slowly add to
pan the 2 cups milk; stir constantly until smooth. Add the salt. Combine
the broccoli and white sauce and put in a 2 qt casserole. There
used to be a package of seasoning separate in the stuffing mix and
you would mix that into the white sauce but now they have it all together
in the Stove Top box so just mix the plain white sauce in with the
broccoli and make up the stuffing mix as directed on the package.
Then you add the almonds to the stuffing and toss. Top the broccoli/
white sauce combo with the stuffing/almond combo and press down
slightly. You might not need the whole stuffing/almond combo but use
as much as you like if not all of it.
Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Serves 8 to 10
