AWESOME BROCCOLI-CHEESE CASSEROLE
My mom used to make this easy recipe every Thanksgiving when I was little. We kids could never get enough! It was our very favorite Thanksgiving vegetable. If you have children, or have some coming to visit you as guests this Thanksgiving, I guarantee that they will eat (and enjoy) this veggie dish! Even though I rarely cook with canned condensed soups, I still make this yummy broccoli casserole during the holiday season. It's fabulous with a Christmas ham and potatoes au gratin too. Mmmmmmm!

Tips for a Perfect Broccoli Cream Cheese Casserole:
- Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh broccoli florets for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen broccoli, thaw and drain it thoroughly before using.
- Seasoning: Don't be afraid to season your casserole well. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all great additions. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- Cheese: Use a good quality cream cheese for the best results. Avoid using low-fat or fat-free cream cheese, as it will not melt as smoothly.
- Baking Dish: Use a 9x13 inch baking dish for this recipe. A smaller dish will make the casserole too thick, while a larger dish will make it too thin.
- Cooking Time: Bake the casserole for 25-30 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and the casserole is bubbly.
- Serving: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Broccoli cream cheese casserole is a classic comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover broccoli, and it's always a hit with kids and adults alike. With its creamy sauce, tender broccoli, and cheesy topping, this casserole is sure to be a favorite in your home.
