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 is the best broccoli cheese casserole I have ever tasted. My husbands family is big on broccoli cheese casserole, but this beat their usual great tasting casserole. It was a hit at Christmas. I used the suggestion of 1/2 c. mayo and 1/2 c. sour cream and extra cheese. I also omitted the added salt and pepper and it was great! The condensed soups and cheese have a salty enough flavor that no extra was needed.Thanks for this recipe, I will pass it on.

Absolutely wonderful! I made this for Christmas and Thanksgiving this year and we are going to make it a holiday tradition! There was not one person in my family that did not like it.

Thank you for sharing your recipe. I made this for Thanksgiving and there was nothing left of it. We have four children, and now it will be part of our family tradition. Thanks, and your mother is a wonderful cook. It was the best Broccoli Casserole my family has ever eaten. If I could give it more than five stars I would.

This was good, but sort of pedestrian. Also a little dry. Next time I would add a little bit of milk I think. I used broccoli florets instead of chopped. I think you could add just about anything to the same ingredients and get a similar result. I got a couple of compliments, but not what I was expecting. Also a topping might be good - herb stuffing or bread crumbs. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

I thought this was ok. It was pretty plain tasting, so yes, kids would probably like it. It was really hard to mix and I doubled the amount of cheese. I don't think I'd make it again.

Excellent recipe! No matter how many times I make this, every one compliments me on it. I first made this for a Thanksgiving side-dish last year and everyone loved. The only change I made was use low-fat mayo and it still comes out wonderful! Thanks for the great recipe. I will continue to make this and pass it along again and again!!!

Although I made adjustments, this was an absolutely fabulous meal! We all loved it, really!! I don't know why anyone would give it bad ratings unless they didn't like broccoli or cheese :) I took some of the other reviewer's advice, and instead of 1 c mayo, I did 1/2 c mayo and 1/2 sour cream. I also added 1/2 c more shredded cheese. The funny part was I discovered I only had a 16 oz pkg of broccoli florets (calls for 30 oz cut); so I used that along with another package of frozen veggie mix - of broccoli, pearl onions, and peppers; not realizing that this package added an awesome kick to the meal! I really lucked out. Anyway, like another person, I mixed the concoction together w/the cheese, then at the end mixed it with the veggies. I sprinkled a little shredded cheddar on top, then added mozarella slices - which again, out of sheer luck worked out perfectly!! My family really loved this meal. It's a KEEPER! Thanks for contributing!

This recipe deserves an update. I am making this dish once again for Christmas because it is the most requested recipe that I own. It is the best broccoli recipe I have found so far. I add a butter and club cracker crumb mixture on the top before I bake it. It is scrumptous. I highly recommend that you try this.

crowd pleaser & SO easy! I used cheesy broccoli soup instead & didn't even have time to sautee onion, just omitted it; may cut down the mayo (to 3/4C.) or use lite next time, it was a bit powerful.

I have been making this recipe for years but I do it a little differently - and ALWAYS get requests... 2 eggs beaten, 1 cup melted margarine, 1 cup HELLMAN's (not miracle whip) mayonnaise, 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese, 2 Tbsp chopped onion, 2 pkgs. frozen chopped broccoli, 1 small bag pepperidge farm stuffing mix. Cook & drain broccoli, mix everything else together (except stuffing mix), pour into greased casserole and top w/stuffing mix. Bake 350 for one hour. It is very important that you use real, full-fat ingredients such as mayonnaise and margarine. Otherwise it doesn't come out right. Also best when cools for at least 30 minutes before serving.

I used the recipe, and it came out very very dry. It tated all right... Perhaps altering the ingredients would be better?

Although I am not big on this type of casserole, I made it in an effort to get some broccoli into my daughter. She couldn't have turned her nose up any farther without breaking her neck!

Very good dish. Served it at Easter dinner and everyone really enjoyed it. Simple to make and very tasty. This is a keeper. Made this for a pot luck dinner at church and there wasn't a bit left.

I took this to Easter potluck once three years ago, and Its all I have ever been asked to bring since. I have to double it and its still gone before all the other veggies are eaten. Wonderful recipe!

Very good recipe. My husband frowned when I told him we were having broccoli with dinner as did my daughter. But once they tasted it, it was a true hit. It warmed up really well as a leftover (forgot to decrease the serving size) and I added a bit more cheese the next day. My husband loved it even more with the additional cheese and asked me to add the additional cheese the NEXT time I made it. Wow!
