(by Shirley McNevich)

10oz. fresh or frozen broccoli pieces (thawed)
1 medium onion (cut into small pieces--not as small as chopping it)
1 TBSP butter
1 TBSP flour
1/2 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2/3 cup milk
4oz. Philadelphia cream cheese (softened and cubed)
2 slices buttered bread (torn into bite sized pieces)

In a saucepan add fresh or thawed broccoli, salt and onion pieces--cover them with water--turn heat to medium and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cook for 4 more minutes, then drain. In a saucepan over low heat add the butter--melt. Add flour--stir. Add oregano and pepper--stir. Add milk--stir and cook until it gets thick. Taste--add 1/4 tsp. salt if it's flat. Add cream cheese--stir until it melts and mixture is smooth. Add the drained broccoli and onions--stir. Grease a 1qt. casserole dish with Pam--pour the whole mixture into the casserole dish. Add torn butterbread pieces on top of the mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes (uncovered).
