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. (Note: Be sure to use sharp Cheddar cheese for a nice full flavor.) Mmmmmmm!”

I tweaked this one to death because I was on a time crunch and didn't know what to make for a side dish tonight. So...what I did was 1 cup mayonaise and 1 cup of plain fat free yogurt (didn't have sour cream, didn't have cream of anything soup). I added some garlic salt to make up for the loss of the cream of mushroom soup, some pepper and a splash of garlic powder. I threw in some fresh chopped mushrooms, mixed it all together with the broccoli and added mozzarella cheese (no cheddar lol). Topped it all off with some crushed up ritz crackers and dotted it with margarine. yum!!!! thanks for a versatile recipe!!!

Huge hit during the holidays. This was completely gone at both Thanksgiving and Christmas last year!

Great! I thought I needed rice with my broccoli casserole. But, no. This was way better.

I used cooked fresh broccoli (little salt in the water) and then processed it with a couple of pulses. Over the top I sprinkled Ritz cracker crumbs and dabs of butter. Yum! While I was waiting for my chicken to finish baking, I sneaked some of the casserole...and then another big blob...and did not have much space left for the chicken...sigh. I did not add salt, pepper and paprika; it was seasoned adequately because of the cheddar and the crumbs, I would guess.

This is a phenomenal casserole! Here's how I make it, I really think this is perfect: use 4 fresh broccoli crowns, cut up very small and steamed; use about 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup mayo instead of a full cup of mayo; put salt and pepper in the casserole mixture as well as on top; add a 1/2 extra shredded cheddar cheese; make breadcrumbs for the top from about 6 slices of bread in a food processor; drizzle the top with about 1/2 stick melted butter. Perfection!

I was disappointed in this. I did as others said and did 1/2 s.c and half mayo..which was mainly for the texture...that didn't bother me. What did was that it was completely flavorless and it was quite embarrassing serving that to my family. Of course everyone said they liked it but who's going to tell me it was awful. Anyway...needs a lot of seasoning and work to make this taste good.

I made this for my husband's Christmas Party at work this year. It was hit...no leftovers. I made it exactly how the recipe followed and received lots of compliments. Different from the normal "broc-rice casserole." Nice change!

I changed it up a bit and used some left over ingredients from the frig. I only used 1/2 c mayo, green onions, 1/4 c sour cream, 1/2 c guacomole, grated parmessan, 1 can cream of mushroom, 1 egg, and 8 oz. sharp cheddar. Mixed it all together and whalla!

Awesome way to eat your broccoli. I added a dash of cayenne and topped it with a breadcrumb butter topping (1 cup plain bread crumbs and 2 T. butter) Yummy!

This dish is better as a side then a main entre but it was still very good. I felt like it was too much of the same thing. I did add almond slivers on top which was a nice crunchy touch.

This is my favorite way to eat brocolli now! I get so many requests to make this, and I even can get my 2yr old to eat broccoli! I think it would be good to add cauliflower too!

This is a wonderful recipe! The only change I made was to use either cream of chicken or cream of celery in place of the mushroom. The sharp cheddar gives this dish a distinct flavor that my family loves. We've been using this recipe for several years. Thank you for the submssion.

My Mom made this all the time growing up and the entire family loves it. We have never had it for a holiday but my sister often requests it for her birthday, we consider it more of a casual get together side dish. Our preparation is a slightly different, we use milk instead of mayonnaise and always cover it with buttered breadcrumbs which add a fantastic crunchy top layer. You can lighten this dish up by using 98% fat free soup and skim milk(or fat free mayo) and low fat cheese - it still tastes great. Also we always use fresh broccoli, about 2 bunches.

This is an awesome recipe. I have altered it also. I use the broccoli & califlower mix,I used egg beaters in place of the eggs, I spray the pan with non stick cooking spray and have used low fat mayo,sour cream and low fat cheese. No one complained!!

This was soo good. I took the advice of others and added half mayo half sour cream. I also did not have cheddar cheese, so I used Monteray Jack and it was even better than the cheddar. Will make again soon!
