Awesome Broccoli-Cheese Casserole

I used fresh broccoli and steamed it. I also omitted the salt and topped the casserole with crispy salad topping onions. It’s a winner!

This is my go to broccoli casserole. I use fresh broccoli and steam just til it changes colour. Other than that I didn’t change anything. Sometimes I add either crispy onions or buttered bread crumbs to the top but it really isn’t necessary.

I added one egg only but its great didn’t think I would like cream of mushroom but I like it the pepper and crackers made it great

This recipe was really good. I didn’t have any cream of mushroom soup so I made a cream sauce and used that instead. I also added celery and carrots. The only thing I wish I would have had or done would have been make some kind of crust on it with bread crumbs or potato chips or something like that.

This was amazingly easy and delicious! The hit at our Easter dinner. I used cream of onion soup instead of mushroom because my daughter doesn’t like mushrooms and I wanted to get the onions in there. I used fresh broccoli. I’m not a big fan of Velveeta but essential in this recipe. I sprinkled the top with some shredded cheddar-jack. Awesome recipe! Thank you.

Outstanding! Very favourful! I used equal amounts of fresh broccoli and cauliflower and added 1/3 cup of chopped fresh mushrooms. Once served, spice it up with your favourite hot sauce.

We love it! Can’t have Thanksgiving without it. We refer to it as “Heart-attack Broccoli”.

I used broccoli florets but everything else is exactly as written. I’ve been making it for years and we love it.

Easy and good!…Will make it again!

I made this recipe just as it was and it came out to be absolutely delicious. I made fried chicken as my main meal and this was my side dish that everyone was raving about. Thank you for this wonderful addition to my nightly dinner menu. Shara Hansen

Broccoli was way to hard for my taste.

This turned out perfect. I did make a couple changes. I added half a block of cream cheese softened as well as instead of a full cup of mayo, I used 1/2 cup mayo and 1/2 cup sour cream. You can add crushed crackers on top for a crust if wanted. I personally used plain cornflakes crushed on top just because I did not have crackers on hand. That was my preference. But, I had made this recipe before step by step and it’s great. My husband loves this and wants it at weeknight dinners. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.

I use this recipe every year and my family loves it however I don’t use eggs and o mox crushed cheese it crackers in the mix and sprinkle on top as well

I made this on a -40° winter evening and my wife absolutely loved it saying “it tastes like a warm delicious hug”. Only having one head of broccoli, I made a few tweaks to turn into a full one dish meal. Modifications: – 30oz of mixed vegetables (head of broccoli[crowned], one bell pepper[pieces], one large carrot[sliced], 6 small mushrooms[into sixths]) – Half cup mayo, half cup sour cream (thanks everyone) – Sautéed the onions with ~5 cloves of garlic and 4 diced boneless chicken thighs I know I diverged a bit from the recipe, but I think this recipe is great as a base and will 100% be making using it again.

I didn’t like this much at all. It was bland and had a weird texture. I also think it was a waste of broccoli and cheese.

easy to make and very tasty

I made it mostly as written, but made three changes: 1) used fresh broccoli instead of frozen; 2) subbed in 1/2 cup sour cream for 1/2 cup of the mayo; 3) doubled the amount of onions used, added some shallots as well, and fresh minced garlic, all of which I browned in butter before adding to the mixture. Overall it turned out very well, and was a hit at the Thanksgiving dinner where I served it. I would note that I was fairly generous with the “salt and pepper to taste,” and I wonder if those who complain that the recipe is “bland” just didn’t season it enough. When I make it again, I’m going to try some other variations, including: using cream of broccoli soup instead of mushroom; adding some additional herbs to the mixture, like thyme or oregano; adding a few splashes of sherry to the liquid.

Next time I will use frozen broccoli pieces not the frozen broccoli florets.

Quick and fun recipe. I added chopped bacon the second time and OMG! So good. I crush cheese it crackers on the top and everyone loved it!

I’ve never made a casserole before (I’m in my 20’s & live in Southern California where people don’t really eat them) but this is BY FAR the easiest most fool proof dish I’ve ever made! Like many of the other reviewers, I followed everyone’s advice of doing 1/2 mayo and 1/2 sour cream and I think that really is the way to go because it gives it more of a tanginess. I also used “cream of mushroom with roasted garlic” soup and would have probably added garlic powder if I hadn’t done that. If you want it to be pretty cheesy, definitely add more cheese (maybe 4-8 oz more). I did this as a side dish for Thanksgiving where we already had creamy mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, and stuffing, so this dish was supposed to be our “vegetable” so I kind of liked that it turned out to be not overly cheesy/creamy and was heavy on the broccoli. My oven sucks but it baked evenly. However, it needed closer to 1hr and 20 minutes to be fully hot in the middle. I actually ended up forgetting to add salt and it was totally fine without it (and that’s saying a lot because I usually put extra salt in things!). I chose to top this with French’s crispy fried onions and it worked perfectly. Everyone loved it so I wrote it into my recipe book to make again in the future!

Great recipe! For personal preference added red pepper, French fried onions, butter and crackers to the mixture and sprinkled crackers on top. Used American, cheddar and velveeta cheese.
