EASY BROCCOLI-CHEESE CASSEROLE



Easy Broccoli-Cheese Casserole image

For the longest time, my mum would make this amazing broccoli casserole. It is more like a crustless quiche, but has converted many broccoli haters into broccoli lovers! I have not ever tweaked this recipe - not even to add minced garlic, sauteed onion, pimento, etc; it's too simple and delicious on its own to need tweaking. This can be made ahead and refrigerated before cooking. It freezes well and can be thawed prior to cooking.

EASY CHICKEN BROCCOLI CASSEROLE



Easy Chicken Broccoli Casserole image

Most of the chicken broccoli casseroles I've seen here all have mayonaisse. Ick! This recipe uses a mixture of three different soups instead for it's creamy texture. The original recipe calls for cooked chicken breasts and cooked broccoli. I don't have time to cook things before I cook them! So I've always used uncooked chicken and frozen uncooked broccoli. Seems fine to me! :) Cooking time doesn't reflect pre-cooking of the chicken or broccoli... I can't stand cheddar cheese so I substitute mozzarella because that's the only cheese I can eat. I don't like mushrooms either, so I never put them in. Feel free to experiment!

EASY CHICKEN BROCCOLI CASSEROLE



Easy Chicken Broccoli Casserole image

We've been talking about soups and how they can help your cooking. Many brands have the sodium and fat removed. Here is something that relies on soup - and is really very good. I use canned chicken often for this one because I can keep all the ingredients (except the broccoli) on my pantry shelf.

Provided by Susan Feliciano

Categories     Casseroles

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 c cooked cubed chicken, or canned chicken (drained)
10 oz package frozen broccoli florets, lightly steamed and drained
1 can(s) cream of broccoli or cream of chicken soup
1 1/4 c evaporated milk
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
dash(es) of salt and pepper
6 oz uncooked pasta, such as rotini or bowties

Steps:

  • 1. First, start pasta: cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water with a little salt and olive oil, until "al dente" - not too mushy. Drain and return to pot, cover and keep warm.
  • 2. Stir together chicken, broccoli, soup, evaporated milk, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Add to cooked pasta and stir to warm it all up.
  • 3. Turn into a greased 2 1/2-qt casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees about 20-25 minutes, until all is hot and bubbly.
  • 4. May top with buttered breadcrumbs if desired, or shredded white cheese, during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Serve with a salad and you have a complete meal!

GERDA'S QUICK AND EASY BROCCOLI CASSEROLE



Gerda's Quick and Easy Broccoli Casserole image

An easy to make, healthy, delicious side dish. One of my friends tried it with frozen spinach and loved it, so either broccoli or spinach will bring you a fabulous vegetable dish minus the cheese, but if you must have cheese add about 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese on the top of the casserole before baking.

Provided by Anita Hoffman

Categories     Side Casseroles

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pkg (10 ounce) frozen chopped broccoli, defrosted
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 can(s) (10 ounce) cream of mushroom soup
1/2 c mayonnaise
1 c crushed ritz crackers (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all ingredients except crushed Ritz crackers and put into a greased 2 quart casserole. Top with 1 cup of crushed Ritz crackers.
  • 2. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, vibrant broccoli. Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli. Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will lose its nutrients and flavor.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. This recipe calls for cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, but you can use any type of cheese that you like. Some other good options include mozzarella, Gruyère, or Fontina.
  • Add some protein. If you want to make this casserole a more complete meal, you can add some cooked chicken, bacon, or shrimp.
  • Serve immediately. Broccoli casserole is best served hot out of the oven. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Conclusion:

Broccoli casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With its creamy sauce, cheesy topping, and tender-crisp broccoli, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give broccoli casserole a try!
