Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup mayonnaise
1 beaten egg
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 (14 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
salt and pepper
paprika

Steps:

  • Mix together the soup, mayo, egg and onion.
  • In a large bowl, fold the broccoli and the soup mix and the cheese together.
  • Spread into a greased 9x13 inch pan.
  • Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen broccoli. Fresh broccoli is best, but frozen broccoli is a good option if you don't have fresh broccoli on hand. If using frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Shred the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese is often coated with cellulose, which can prevent it from melting smoothly. Shredding your own cheese will ensure that it melts evenly and smoothly.
  • Use a combination of cheeses. Using a combination of cheeses will give your casserole a more complex flavor. Cheddar and Gruyère are two good options, but you can also use Parmesan, mozzarella, or any other type of cheese that you like.
  • Season the casserole well. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste. Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper are all good options.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. The broccoli should be tender but still slightly crisp. If you overcook the casserole, the broccoli will become mushy.
