  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  10      ounces        chopped broccoli -- cooked and drained
   1 1/4  cups          medium-light white sauce
     1/4  can           shredded cheddar cheese
   1      teaspoon      angostura bitters
     1/2  teaspoon      freshly ground nutmeg
                        Salt and pepper
     1/3  cup           buttered crumbs

Prepare a medium-light white sauce (start with 1 1/4 cup milk, 1 scant
teaspoon cornstarch, etc.).  Stir in the cheese and let the heat of the
sauce melt it.  Add bitters, nutmeg, salt and pepper.

Place cooked broccoli in a 1 to 1-1/2 qt casserole.  Pour sauce over top to
cover and coat broccoli.  Top with buttered crumbs (1/3 cup seasoned
(Italian)  bread crumbs, 1 Tablespoon softened butter).  Bake 350 degrees F
for about 20 minutes until bubbly.

Romanoff Variation - Add 1 tablespoon sour cream to the cheese sauce and
substitute Worchestershire sauce for the bitters.  Omit crumbs and toss with
chopped, fresh parsley.
