Broccoli Casserole

Serves: 12 (1 serving = 2/3 cup)
WW Points per serving: 1.5

1 1/2 cups shredded nonfat or reduced-fat Sharp cheddar cheese
2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/3 cup fat-free egg substitute
1 3/4 cups dry curd or nonfat cottage cheese
2 tbsp. unbleached flour
1/4 tsp. ground white pepper
3 tbsp. finely ground fat-free cracker crumbs

Set aside 1/2 cup of the grated cheddar cheese. Combine the rest of the cheese and all of the remaining ingredients except for the cracker crumbs in a large bowl, and stir to mix well. Coat a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place the broccoli mixture in the dish, sprinkle with the cracker crumbs and spread the reserved cheese over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Kelley's note: I made this to take to both of our Thanksgiving gatherings. Didn't mention to anyone that it was a WW recipe and it was a complete hit. I have another broccoli casserole that I have made in the past (full of mayonnaise) and this one really was not a disappointment even in comparison to the old one.
