Cheesy Broccoli Casserole



Cheesy Broccoli Bake Casserole

2 pounds fresh broccoli, trimmed and cut up
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the casserole
1 Small Onion chopped
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 Cup of milk
1 pound grated cheese Cheddar or your favorite choice.(Half will go into the sauce the other half will go on top of casserole.)
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 8” x 8” casserole dish.

Steam the broccoli until tender, about 10 minutes.

In the meantime you can make the sauce. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion until softened, about 10 minutes; drain. Add the cream of mushroom soup, milk and ½ pound of cheese and season with pepper and garlic salt. Turn down to low heat until the cheese melts.

When the broccoli is tender, place it into the casserole dish.

After sauce is ready, pour it over and gently work it into the broccoli. Then spread the remaining ½ pound of cheese on top.

Bake until cheese is melted and bubbling.

For a twist or to make it a main dish. Simply add some meat. You can add shredded beef or chicken. Oh whatever you heart so desires!! I typically double the recipe when I make it but I am feeding 8 people!!

I saw Paula Dean make this one night and it looked so good. I didn't make it exactly how she did but tailored it to what I had in the pantry!!
