List of Ingredients



• 2 lbs. fresh broccoli
  
• 2 Tbsp butter
  
• 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour

Instructions



1. Remove and discard broccoli leaves and tough ends of stalks; cut into bite-size pieces. Arrange broccoli in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Set broccoli aside, and keep warm.
   
   
2. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat; add flour, stirring until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add cream cheese and blue cheese; cook, stirring constantly, until smooth. Add sour cream, and bring just to a boil.
   
   
3. Remove from heat, and pour over broccoli; toss gently. Place broccoli mixture in a lightly greased 1-quart baking dish; sprinkle with cracker crumbs. Bake, uncovered, at 350º F for 30 minutes.
