Ingredients




1 1/2 tablespoons chicken seasoned stock base
2/3 (8 oz.) pkg. herb seasoned stuffing mix
2/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or slivered almonds
2/3 cup hot water
6 tablespoons butter
3 lbs. fresh broccoli
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk

Preparation

1 Cook fresh broccoli in boiling salted water until tender crisp. Drain and chop coarsely. Make white sauce by blending 1/4 cup butter, flour, chicken stock base, and salt. Add milk and cook until thickened. 2 Meanwhile, melt 6 tbsp. butter in hot water; pour over stuffing mix. Add nuts and toss together. Turn broccoli into greased 2 quart casserole. Pour the white sauce over and top with stuffing mix; press down slightly. Bake in hot oven for 20 to 25 minutes. 3 Sometimes the stock base is too salty, so chicken broth can be substituted for the milk in the white sauce. This recipe also may be reduced in size.
