BROCCOLI CHEESE BAKE



Broccoli Cheese Bake image

This is a great casserole that I threw together one day when a friend requested Broccoli au Gratin for her birthday dinner. This is a great idea for those who aren't big fans of bread crumbs. Also, the eggs can be taken out for a great sauce and using skim milk and fat-free cheese works well, too. It's basically a great recipe that can be easily altered according to taste. Enjoy!

VINTAGE BROCCOLI CHEESE CASSEROLE



Vintage Broccoli Cheese Casserole image

Editor's Note: Broccoli and cheese casseroles are just about as American as apple pie. This simple combination of ingredients is one of the most popular casseroles out there. This classic dish is perfect for the family on a weekday night. The best thing about Addie's broccoli cheese bake is that in addition to the typical cheddar cheese, it calls for swiss cheese, as well. This extra cheese adds an extra savory taste to the meal. Did you know that broccoli is an invented vegetable? It was actually bred by Italian farmers in the 1700s from several different kinds of cabbage! A member of the cruciferous veggie group along with cauliflower and turnips, this veggie made its way over to America in colonial times. It wasn't until the 1920s that it really gained in popularity, leading us to discovering dishes like Broccoli Casserole that have become staples in the American diet to this day.

Provided by Addie Gundry

Categories     Vegetables

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pound fresh broccoli (about 8 cups)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 (4-ounce) sleeve butter crackers, crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Cut the broccoli florets into bite-size pieces and the tender stems into small dice. Place in a large microwaveable bowl, add 1/2 cup water, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for about 5 minutes, until the broccoli is tender. Drain well and place in the prepared baking dish.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until the flour has been absorbed and the mixture turns light yellow with large dry bubbles. Add the evaporated milk, salt, and pepper and cook, whisking, until the sauce is thick and coats the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Add the Swiss cheese and sour cream and stir until the cheese has melted.
  • Pour the sauce over the broccoli in the baking dish and stir gently. Mix the cheddar cheese, paprika, and crackers and top the casserole in an even layer. Bake for about 40 minutes, until bubbling and the top is golden brown. Slice and serve.

FANTASTIC CHICKEN BROCCOLI CASSEROLE



Fantastic Chicken Broccoli Casserole image

Southern comfort food. My mom makes this when cold weather hits - ooey, gooey, and oh so rich. Occasionally, I'll swap out part of the cheddar cheese with Velveeta Crumbles. Cook time includes time for the casserole to sit. You can use about a pound of cooked chicken breasts, shredded or cubed, in place of the canned chicken.

Provided by Misa3446

Categories     Beginner Cook

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 casserole, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped broccoli
2 (10 ounce) cans white chicken meat packed in water
16 ounces cottage cheese
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 cup mayonnaise
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (2 cups shredded)
36 Ritz crackers (1 sleeve)
8 tablespoons butter (1 stick) or 8 tablespoons margarine (1 stick)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F Thaw the broccoli, making sure it is well-drained. Drain the canned chicken chunks.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, and cheddar cheese.
  • Spoon half of the broccoli in the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish. Spread one can of the chicken over the broccoli, followed by half of the cheese mixture from step 2. Smooth with a spatula, and repeat layers. You will end with the cheese mixture on top.
  • Crush the Ritz crackers, and melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the cracker crumbs to the melted butter, tossing to coat. Spread over the top of the casserole.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until bubbly and the crackers are slightly browned. Let set for 30 minutes before serving.
  • NOTES: Casserole can be assembled through step 3 the day ahead. Cover with foil and store in the refrigerator until time to bake. Pick up with step 4. Also, the cracker topping can be made by melting the butter in the microwave, crushing the crackers in a large ziptop bag, and pouring the butter over the crumbs. Squeeze the bag to make sure the butter is distributed evenly. Ingredients can be swapped for their low-fat counterparts, but the texture won't be as creamy.

Tips:

  • To save time, use a bag of frozen broccoli florets instead of fresh broccoli.
  • If you don't have Swiss cheese, you can substitute another type of hard cheese, such as cheddar or Parmesan.
  • For a creamier casserole, add a cup of heavy cream or milk to the sauce.
  • To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and bake it for 30 minutes. Then, let it cool completely and refrigerate it. When you're ready to serve, reheat it in a 350°F oven for 30 minutes, or until it's heated through.
  • Serve the casserole with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
