Awesome Broccoli-Cheese Casserole image

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!

MOM'S BROCCOLI CHEESE CASSEROLE



Mom's Broccoli Cheese Casserole image

Mom's Broccoli Cheese Casserole was a staple growing up and now this gluten free version is a "must have" in my home during the holidays.

Provided by Shay

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

20 oz frozen chopped broccoli (thawed)
12 oz pimento cheese
8 oz sharp white cheddar cheese (shredded)
1/2 stick butter (melted)
3 cups gluten free crackers (crushed to large crumbs)
salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a large casserole dish.
  • Crush crackers into large crumbs in a large bag or food processor. Add melted butter a little at a time while mixing well. The crackers should be coated in butter, but not wet or drippy. Some gluten free crackers will absorb more butter than others, so you may need a little more or less than a 1/2 stick of butter.
  • In a large bowl combine broccoli, cheeses, 1/2 of the cracker mixture and salt & pepper to taste. Reserve the remaining cracker mixture for the topping.
  • Pour the broccoli mixture into a well-greased casserole dish. This can be covered and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, return the glass or ceramic dish to room temp before baking, top with the remaining crackers and bake.
  • Bake for approximately 45 minutes until it is warmed through and the cheeses are melted and the topping is slightly browned. Watch to be sure the top doesn't burn, cover with foil if it starts to get too dark. Add 10-15 minutes baking time if the casserole is still cold when it goes in the oven.

Mother always made this hot dish for Thanksgiving, Christmas and other special family dinners. When my sisters and I plan a dinner, this dish is still on the menu. I've tried many broccoli casseroles over the years, but none are quite as good as Mom's.- Beth Osborne Skinner, Bristol, Tennessee

MOM'S CHEESY BROCCOLI RICE CASSEROLE



Mom's Cheesy Broccoli Rice Casserole image

This is my favorite broccoli rice casserole...maybe it's because it's so darn creamy and cheesy I don't even notice the broccoli! :) Enjoy!

Provided by KPD123

Categories     Rice

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 ounces frozen chopped broccoli, microwaved about 6 minutes to thaw
2 cups cooked rice
2 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
1 (5 ounce) can Carnation Evaporated Milk
1 onion, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
1 (5 ounce) can premium chunk chicken (I sometimes use 2 or the large can when I'm treating this as a one-dish meal)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Saute onions and celery in butter until soft. Add chicken, salt, and pepper. Saute a minute or so to marry flavors.
  • In a large bowl, combine soups, milk, rice, broccoli, onion/chicken mixture. Fold in 2 cups cheese.
  • Pour into a greased 2 quart casserole dish. Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese (I sometimes use more -- it's terrible, I know! ;).
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes uncovered.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli. It should be tender but still have a bit of a crunch.
  • Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère will give the casserole a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add cooked chicken, ham, or bacon to the casserole, or you can use a different type of cheese.
  • Make sure the casserole is cooked through before serving. The center of the casserole should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Broccoli cheese casserole is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a broccoli cheese casserole that is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
