2 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
1 teaspoon garlic powder

BROCCOLI CAULIFLOWER CASSEROLE



Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole image

The most tremendous veggie casserole in the history of veggie casseroles! I started making it around Thanksgiving as an alternative to broccoli-rice casserole, but it has slowly crept into other meals throughout the year. It's irresistible.

Provided by Ree Drummond

Categories     HarperCollins     Broccoli     Cauliflower     Side     Thanksgiving     Kid-Friendly     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Small Plates

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cauliflower head
1 large broccoli head
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 medium onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt, more to taste
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon paprika, plus more for sprinkling
1/3 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1 1/2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • 2. Using your hands, break the cauliflower and broccoli into very small florets. Place them in a steamer and steam them over simmering water until slightly tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Set them aside.
  • 3. Melt 6 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour, stirring it into the onion mixture and cook it for a minute or so. Pour in the broth, stirring continuously, and cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken, about 3 minutes.
  • 4. Add the cream cheese and stir until it melts completely. Then stir in the seasoned salt, kosher salt, pepper, and paprika. Turn off the heat and set the sauce aside.
  • 5. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter and blend with a fork.
  • 6. To assemble, butter a small (2-quart) casserole and add half the broccoli-cauliflower mixture. Pour on half the sauce, top with half the cheese, and sprinkle on a little paprika. Repeat another round of the veggies, sauce, cheese, and paprika...then top the casserole with the buttery breadcrumbs.
  • 7. Bake the casserole for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden and the casserole is bubbly around the edges. Serve it nice and piping hot!
  • Make ahead:
  • The casserole can be assembled and stored in the fridge, unbaked, for up to 24 hours. Allow 10 minutes extra cooking time if baking straight out of the fridge.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling while you're cooking.
  • Cook the Shrimp Properly: Overcooked shrimp can be tough and chewy. To avoid this, cook the shrimp just until they turn opaque and pink. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh broccoli and cauliflower will give your casserole the best flavor. If you can't find fresh vegetables, you can use frozen vegetables instead. Just be sure to thaw them completely before using them.
  • Don't Overcook the Casserole: The casserole is done when the vegetables are tender and the sauce is bubbly. Overcooking the casserole will make the vegetables mushy and the sauce watery.
  • Serve the Casserole Hot: The casserole is best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish it with chopped parsley or chives for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

This broccoli cauliflower shrimp casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
