Since the main dish is so simple, the accompaniments can be more complicated. Antique Broccoli is a really wonderful casserole; don't be put off by the name. A creamy cheese sauce wraps around baby carrots and broccoli; it can easily be made ahead. And the appetizer, caramelized onions and gorgonzola cheese on crisp french bread, is a perfect starter. Soft garlic breadsticks are made from refrigerated dinner roll dough so they are super easy. And for dessert, pecans and caramel in a flaky pie crust are drizzled with smooth melted chocolate. This is an elegant and easy dinner perfect for the holidays.
