Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper, stirring frequently, until mixture begins to brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
Step 3
Sprinkle flour over mushroom mixture, stirring until well combined, about 1 minute. Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and milk. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in Cheddar, 2 tablespoons Romano cheese, and broccoli. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Step 4
Toss bread crumbs with remaining 2 tablespoons Romano cheese and sprinkle over top. Dot with butter.
Step 5
Bake, uncovered, until top is golden and casserole is bubbling, about 40 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
