Cheesy Broccoli-Mushrooms

 
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter
1 medium size onion sliced
10 medium size button mushrooms cut into pieces, washed
2 cups broccoli florets thoroughly washed
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup shredded mixture of cheddar-Monterey-jack cheese
1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt to taste

Preparation:
In a pan melt butter over medium flame.
Add onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Add garlic powder, pepper powder and cayenne pepper. Mix the spices along with the onions.
Increase the flame, add broccoli florets, and cover the pan with lid for 2 minutes.
Remove the lid and stir well.
Add mushrooms and sauté for 1-2 minutes over high flame.
Bring the flame down to medium and add shredded cheese with some salt.
Stir it until cheese coats the broccoli florets and mushrooms evenly.
Turn the flame off and enjoy the dish.

 
 Note:
Make sure not to overcook the broccoli. The color of the broccoli should remain green.
