Roasted Broccoli, Cheese and Potato Hotdish

From:  Comfy Cuisine

• 1-1/2 lbs. fresh broccoli
• 2 Tbsp. canola or olive oil
• 1-1/2 lbs. 95% ground beef (or turkey)
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 4 cups low fat milk
• 1/3 cup cornstarch

• Salt to taste
• 2 cups Cheddar Cheese
• 1/4 tsp. turmeric (mainly for color)
• 4 cups frozen hash brown potatoes
• 1 large egg, slightly beaten
• Pepper
• Paprika
• Additional cheese for top (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
2. Toss broccoli florets with 1 Tbsp. oil.  Spread out on a baking sheet and roast, stirring once, halfway through, until just soft and browned in spots, about 15 minutes.
3. Heat remaining oil in a large skilled over medium heat.  Add beef and onion and cook, breaking up beef, until beef is browned and onion is softened, about 10 minutes.  Stir in Worcestershire, garlic and 1/4 tsp. salt; set aside.
4. Whisk milk and cornstarch in a large saucepan.  Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking often until bubbling and thickened; 6-8 minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in cheddar, salt to taste and turmeric, until the cheese is melted.
5. Spread the beef mixture in a 9 x 13 baking dish.  Top with the broccoli and pour the cheese sauce evenly over the top.
6. Combine potatoes, egg, pepper and 1/4 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.  Sprinkle evenly over casserole.  Coat the top with butter-flavored cooking spray.
7. Bake at 350 degrees F until casserole is bubbly and potatoes begin to brown, about 40 mins.  Sprinkle with paprika and additional cheese (optional) and bake an additional 5 minutes.  Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
