Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 325°F. Grease bottom and side of shallow 2-quart casserole. Cut leeks into 1/2-inch pieces. In 3-quart saucepan, heat 2 inches water to boiling. Add leeks. Cover and cook over medium heat about 5 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain.
  • 2
    In 2-quart saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over low heat. Cook flour, salt and pepper over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly; remove from heat. Gradually stir in milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in cheese until melted. Stir in leeks. Pour into casserole.

    Bake uncovered about 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To clean leeks, cut stalks lengthwise in half; rinse under cold water, separating leaves to remove sand and dirt.
  • tip 2
    When you’re looking for leeks, choose those that have a crisp, bright green top and blemish-free white bulb.
