Ok...after searching high and low, I've finally found a recipe that's similar to a casserole dish from one of my fav. eateries in St. Augustine, FL! It's a little diff., but just as tasty. I think their dish had a lot more butter in it. I pass this on with love and the hopes that you will take it to all of your potluck get togethers. I hope you like it, wait...no I hope you LOVE IT!:)

BEST CHICKEN BROCCOLI CASSEROLE EVER
My friend Kevin made this one night for his own dinner. About 5 or 6 people then wandered into his house around dinnertime and demanded "just a taste". Kevin had to go to McDonald's because we ate all his supper! Although I am not a fan of soup food in general, this is one of the best incarnations of the genre I have ever seen! Bring on the can opener and enjoy!

BEST EVER BROCCOLI CHEESE CASSEROLE BAKE
My sister got this recipe from one of her in-laws after falling in love with it a few years ago and it's been our family favorite ever since! It's so good with practically any meal, whether a mundane weeknight dinner or a more elaborate thanksgiving feast. Also, although it truly does taste the best with the cream of mushroom soup it can be made with any cream soup (I usually use broccoli cheese or 1 cream of chicken and 1 cream of celery because of picky hubby!). Oh, and I like to add a sprinkle of onion powder to the mix too! Edited to Add: I've been mixing 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese for the topping instead of just breadcrumbs. It's really good that way too!

BEST BROCCOLI CASSEROLE EVER!!!!
I found this on another website, but it's worth sharing. I altered the original recipe just a little bit based on experience. As a side note, my Dad HATES broccoli, but the first time this was made for dinner, he not only ate it, but he had a second serving!!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Pre-cook the broccoli about half way through. DO NOT over cook the broccoli because it will be mushy later.
- 2. In a large bowl, mix together broccoli, corn, and onions. Stir in sour cream, soup, and shredded cheese. In a separate bowl, toss together stuffing mix and melted butter. Spread broccoli mixture into a 2-3 quart casserole dish and cover with stuffing mix.
- 3. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until heated through and browned on top. Sprinkle remaining 1 3/4 cups cheese on top and bake an additional 5 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli. Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
- Cut the broccoli into small florets. This will help them cook evenly.
- Steam the broccoli before adding it to the casserole. This will help preserve its nutrients and bright green color.
- Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar cheese or a combination of cheeses will give the casserole a rich and flavorful taste.
- Don't overcook the casserole. The broccoli should be tender but still slightly crisp.
- Serve the casserole immediately. This is when it will be at its best.
Conclusion:
Broccoli casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. Whether you're following a specific diet or just looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, broccoli casserole is a great option.
