Broccoli casserole is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. It is made with fresh or frozen broccoli florets, a creamy sauce, and a cheesy topping. The result is a delicious and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.

There are many different ways to make broccoli casserole, but the basic ingredients are always the same. The first step is to cook the broccoli. This can be done by boiling, steaming, or roasting. Once the broccoli is cooked, it is added to a casserole dish along with a creamy sauce. The sauce is typically made with milk, cream, butter, and flour. It can also be flavored with garlic, onion, cheese, or herbs.

Once the broccoli and sauce are combined, the casserole is topped with a cheesy topping. The topping can be made with grated cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, or a combination of both. The casserole is then baked in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Broccoli casserole is a versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It can also be made ahead of time and reheated when you are ready to serve it.

BROCCOLI, RICE, CHEESE, AND CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Broccoli, Rice, Cheese, and Chicken Casserole image

This is a delicious twist to broccoli, rice, and cheese casserole, and is VERY easy to make. You can also cut this in half. I use the 1 can cream of mushroom soup when I make half. You can also leave out the onion. It just gives it a little added flavor, but is still very good without it.

CHICKEN, BROCCOLI, AND CHEDDAR CASSEROLE



Chicken, Broccoli, and Cheddar Casserole image

Super comfort food, but kinda healthy because it has broccoli in it, right? My grandmother passed this chicken and Cheddar recipe down and it is a family favorite. After the first time I made it, I went on a casserole kick and made it twice a week for 3 months straight! I typically serve this over rice, but it is just as great by itself. Last time I didn't make rice, but served it with bread.
