3 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen chopped broccoli or 3 lb. fresh broccoli
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. flour
1 1/2 tbsp. chicken seasoned stock base
1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. milk
6 tbsp. butter
2/3 c. hot water
2/3 (8 oz.) pkg. herb seasoned stuffing mix
2/3 c. coarsely chopped walnuts

Cook fresh broccoli in boiling water until tender-crisp. Drain and chop coarsely. Cook frozen broccoli as directed on package, then drain. Make white sauce by blending 1/4 cup butter, flour, chicken stock base and salt. Add milk and cook until thickened.

Meanwhile, melt 6 tablespoons butter in hot water; pour over stuffing mix. Add nuts and toss together. Turn broccoli into greased 2-quart casserole. Pour the white sauce over, and top with stuffing. Press down slightly. Bake in 400 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Serves 8 to 10.
