Broccoli Cheese Sauce
What you Need:
1 bunch broccoli
2 Tablespoons of water
2 Tablespoons of water
3 1/2 tsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
dash pepper
1 cup of milk
1 cup of cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

What to do:
1. When your potatoes are all done, get busy cooking the broccoli and making the scrumptious cheese sauce. Remove the large broccoli stems and chop the broccoli into small pieces.
2. Put the broccoli in a microwave safe bowl, that has a lid. Pour 2 tablespoons of water over the top of the broccoli, cover it and cook it in the microwave for about 5 minutes or until fork tender.
3. To make the cheese sauce, place 3 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a dash of pepper into a medium sized sauce pan. Pour 1 cup milk over the top of the dry ingredients and whisk it all together to combine.
4. Heat the mixture up on the stove top over medium high heat, whisking constantly. Bring it to a boil and then remove it from the heat.
5. Add 1 cup cheddar cheese, 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce and 3 tablespoons butter. Stir it all together until the butter and cheese have melted and the sauce is nice and smooth.
6. Top potatoes with the broccoli and pour the cheese sauce on and ENJOY!
