Directions
Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Add fresh broccoli, and cook until easily pierced by a fork, about 7–10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a separate saucepan, combine evaporated milk and cornstarch. Slowly bring to a boil while stirring often.
When the milk comes to a boil, remove it from the heat and add the cheese. Continue to stir until the cheese is melted and evenly mixed.
Add the Worcestershire and hot sauces, and stir.
Pour cheese over hot broccoli.
Sprinkle whole-wheat croutons over broccoli and cheese mixture, and serve.
* Make extra croutons for the Zesty Tomato Soup .
Children can help measure ingredients and mix the sauce.
