How to Make Broccoli Cheese Casserole

This casserole does take a few minutes to whisk up the sauce, but it is worth it to be able to ditch the cream of anything soup. To make this side dish, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Cook until vegetables are soft and lightly brown. Sprinkle flour over vegetables. Cook for 1 minute. Slowly add milk and bring to a boil. Stir frequently. Cook until the mixture starts to thicken and is smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in cheeses and broccoli. Pour into a prepared baking dish. Top broccoli mixture with crushed Ritz crackers and butter and bake.

We both agreed that this was going into the rotation. A healthy and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed year-round.

  1. I would think 40 minutes would be asufficient amount of time if I use fresh broccoli instead instead of frozen?

    1. I have only made this with frozen broccoli florets. You will just need to check the casserole at 40 minutes and see if the broccoli is at the desired tenderness.

  2. My 5 year old son loves broccoli and I’m pretty sure he will love this hot dish! He will he a whole head of broccoli on his own ��
