Flounder Divan Recipe
Ingredients
| 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine | ||
| All purpose flour | 2 Tablespoon | |
| Whole milk | 1 1/2 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Cheddar Cheese | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| 6 dashes hot red pepper sauce | ||
| Lemon juice | 1 Tablespoon, squeezed | |
| Broccoli package | 1 , chopped | |
| Potatoes | 1 1/3 Cup (16 tbs), mashed | |

Directions
Preheat the oven to 400° F.
Melt the butter in an ovenproof 10-inch skillet over moderate heat.
Blend in the flour and cook, stirring, until golden about 3 minutes.
Gradually whisk in the milk, then cook, whisking constantly, until thickened-about 4 minutes longer.
Stir in 3/4 cup of the cheese, the fat red pepper sauce, and lemon juice, and heat, uncovered, just until the cheese melts about 2 minutes.
Mix in the broccoli.
Spoon 1/3 cup of the mashed potatoes onto each flounder fillet and fold over.
Lay the fillets in the skillet and spoon some of the sauce on top.
Cover and bake for 20 minutes.
Top with the remaining cheese, transfer to the broiler, and broil 4 inches from the heat for 2 minutes or until tipped with brown.
