Wipe hamburger grease out of skillet and set over medium heat again. Melt butter in skillet. When it gets foamy, add flour. Let this roux cook but not get brown, stirring constantly. Then add skim milk. Stir until it begins to thicken, about a minute or so.

(Your pasta should not be al dente yet. It will finish in the oven.)Mix meat, pasta, and broccoli in the 13x9 baking pan, making sure all are equally distributed. Pour white sauce over mixture; spread out. Grate 1 oz of smoked Gouda cheese over the top of casserole.
