Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h5m

Yield 14 1/2 cup servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

butter-flavored cooking spray
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
1 can 98% fat-free cream of mushroom soup
1 can 98% fat-free cream of chicken soup
1 jar low-fat American cheese
2 (10 ounce) boxes frozen chopped broccoli, partially thawed
1 1/2 cups instant rice
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray a 9X13-inch baking dish with buttered flavored cooking spray.
  • Set aside.
  • Spray a medium skillet with butter flavored spray.
  • Saute celery and onion over medium heat until onion is clear.
  • Transfer onion and celery to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add soups and cheese.
  • Stir until well blended.
  • Add remaining ingredients and pour into prepared pan.
  • Bake uncovered 35-40 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli florets provide a vibrant green color and a crisp texture to the casserole. If using frozen broccoli, thaw it completely and drain it well before adding it to the casserole.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • 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 sharp flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan.
  • Add some extras: Feel free to add other ingredients to the casserole to boost its flavor and texture. Some popular additions include cooked bacon, diced ham, chopped onions, or sliced mushrooms.
  • Serve immediately: Broccoli casserole is best served immediately after it is baked. The casserole will start to lose its texture and flavor as it cools.
