Ingredients

• 8 ounces egg noodles or your favorite noodles
• 3 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste

Optional Add-Ins

• Cooked chicken
• Crispy bacon pieces
• Diced ham
• Red pepper flakes
• Parmesan cheese
• Chopped parsley

Step 1: Prepare the Broccoli

Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into small florets. Smaller pieces cook faster and blend better with the noodles.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.

Remove the broccoli with a slotted spoon and set aside. Keep the boiling water for the noodles.

Step 2: Cook the Noodles

Add the noodles to the same pot of boiling water. Cook according to the package directions until tender.

Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside. Avoid overcooking, as the noodles will continue to absorb some sauce later.
