Grilled Foods and Casserole

Last week, Matt and I took advantage of the nicer weather and pulled the grill out.  He made us a couple sirloin steaks and I helped grill some asparagus.  (Really easy to do, by the way)  The easiest and best way is to lay on a grill pan over the grill, brush with olive oil, and season well with salt and pepper.

I also made a new casserole dish as a side from my Food And Family magazine.

Broccoli and Corn Scallop
2 Tbsp chopped onion
2 Tbsp butter, divided
1 Tbsp flour
1-1/4 cups milk
1 pkg (8oz) shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
1 can corn, drained
12 Ritz crackers, crushed, divided
2 pkg (10oz each) frozen broccoli spears, thawed, drained

Heat oven to 350.  Cook and stir onions in 1 Tbsp butter in saucepan on medium heat 1 minute.  Blend in flour.  Gradually add milk, stirring until blended; cook until thickened, stirring constantly.  Add cheese; cook until melted.  Stirring frequently.  Add corn and half of cracker crumbs - mix well.
Arrange broccoli in 12x8 or 13x9 baking dish.  Top with sauce.  Melt remaining butter; mix with remaining crumbs.  I would suggest adding more crackers than what's left - more like 10-12 crackers - so you have more of a crust on top.  Sprinkle crumbs over ingredients in baking dish.
Bake 30 minutes or until heated through.  Again, like always, I like to broil for just a few minutes at the end to get more of a crust on top.



And here's our full grilled meal with side dish - delicious night!
