The perfect broccoli and cheese.

Simply delicious. Everyday ingredients for the most part. I subbed in marg for the butter. Also, I added more shredded cheese to make up for the 1% milk, which resulted in just the right consistency. White pepper was the only ingredient I added. My 6 year old, who doesn't normally like cheese, said he loved the cheese sauce on his broccoli.
