  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a little bit of crunch. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the casserole. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make broccoli casserole. Feel free to add other ingredients that you think would taste good, such as cooked bacon, diced onions, or chopped nuts.
