Ingredients
- 2-14 ounce bags frozen broccoli florets thawed and drained
- 2 Tablespoons butter

- 1-1/2 cups milk

- Place thawed and drained broccoli in a 9x9 baking pan.
- Prepare all sauce ingredients before starting the sauce.
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Using a flat whisk, whisk in flour, pepper, and paprika to form a thick paste.
- Add milk to flour and butter mixture, whisking as you add the milk. Continue to whisk until the paste has dissolved and the milk mixture is smooth.
- Heat, uncovered, until milk is warm.
- Add half the cubed Velveeta cheese to the hot milk. Stir frequently until the cheese begins to melt. Add the rest of the cheese and stir frequently.
- When all cheese is melted and the sauce is hot, pour cheese sauce over broccoli. Gently toss broccoli to coat.
- Cover baking pan with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees until the broccoli is hot, about 40 minutes. (Cheese sauce will thicken on standing.)
