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!”

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!

I have also been making this for years and like others, I add stuffing mix. I also use cream of broccoli soup, broccoli/cheese soup, and a can of fried onion rings. I mix half of onion rings in mixture. I spread shredded cheese over broccoli mixture and other half of onion rings on top of that.. everyone loves it.

Had a good flavor - I enjoyed it but my 5 year old who loves broccoli wouldn't touch it. A bit of a strange texture though - not sure if I'll make again.

This turned out very good. I would recommend using sharp cheddar, and salt & pepper to taste to kick the flavor up a little. I also added italian seasoned bread crumbs on top. Would definitely make again.

THIS IS SOOOOOO GOOD! I made it 2 years ago and I decided to make it again this year for Thanksgiving because i remember it being so yummy. My family LOVED IT!!! So flavorful and tasty. I'm a huge broccoli fan, so it's a #1 in my book. But, this year I did the 1/2 mayo and 1/2 sour cream and added fried onions to the top. I really liked the consistency and flavor with the sour cream, and the onions gave it a nice crunch! Oh, and I also used FRESH broccoli--definitely made a difference. Will be making this for Christmas, too! But, i told my dad i will only make this max 3 times a year because of the high fat content! But it is worth it during the holidays :)

i made this for the first time last thanksgiving and loved it!! every holiday since the family requests this dish, and always tells me how good it is-i love that it is so simple,(not to mention cheap!) and yummy-very creamy and cheesy- and u can't tell that the broccoli is frozen either- the only thing i changed the last time i made it was that instead of adding all the cheese to the mixture, i saved half of it and added it to the top- then u can broil it for the last few minutes to make it even better- definitely a keeper!!

Just made it today for Thanksgiving, it came out really well. I followed directions as they were, except I did do the 1/2 c. mayo and 1/2 c. sour cream as another reviewer stated. I also eliminated the extra salt as the condensed soup has a lot of sodium already, and the sharp cheddar cheese provides a tangy zip that doesn't require extra seasoning. Great recipe, I'd make again.

This is a great recipe, the only things I changed were adding 1/2 cup sour cream in place of the full cup of mayo and topped it with Durkee Fried Onions. I also used blanched fresh broccoli instead of frozen, better color and flavor.

I have been making this recipe for a while now, it is one of my most requested recipes. Kids love it! In addition to the chopped onion, I also mix in AND top off with french's fried onions. This year I am going to try it with the cheese flavored ones! We do not like greenbean casserole, so this is a great subsitution.

This recipe was definitely good just the way it is written. My whole family loves it. It may not be gourmet, but it's delicious. Why does everyone rate it when they're changing so many things in it?

I did not like this at all. Maybe it would be edible with sour cream, as is, it is too mayonaissey. My son who eats everything, wouldn't even eat it.

I am giving this 4 because I didn't really care for it. It wasn't moist enough for my tatste and could have had a lot more cheese!!! It didn't have a lot of flavor in my opinion. However, my husband did eat it and he never eats veggies. My dd, who loves broccoli, didn't like it, either. But to credit the recipe, it was easy to prepare and looked beautiful. It just wasn't something that I enjoyed. I doubt I would make it again and if I did I would change the recipe a litle to suit my tastes better. Thanks for the recipe.

I chose this broccoli casserole recipe because it was quicker to put together than the others, but my family didn't like it at all. (In fact, they said they preferred plain steamed broccoli.) I substituted cream of chicken soup for the cream of mushroom, but otherwise followed the recipe. Now that I've seen the high fat content in this recipe (something I should have checked before), I doubt that I'll make this recipe again. Overall, it was edible, but not great.

My boyfriend who's not a broccoli fan wants me to make this again! I modified a little though, as I didn't have, and generally don't eat mayo, I replaced with half a cup of fat free sour cream, and half a cup of low fat cream cheese. Will be making this again.. probably today!

We loved this!!! My husband doesn't really like broccoli, but he ate this cheesy casserole no problem. The only change I made was that I did not add the onion (we don't really eat onions unless they are very tender), but I added 1 tsp. of onion powder. My father does not really like sharp cheddar, so I used a mexican blend cheese, and it was great. Everyone loved the cheesy crust!!!
