AWESOME BROCCOLI-CHEESE CASSEROLE



Awesome Broccoli-Cheese Casserole image

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. Mmmmmmm!

CHEESY BROCCOLI CASSEROLE



Cheesy Broccoli Casserole image

In this casserole, a homemade cheese sauce that's good enough to toss with pasta replaces the canned creamed soup. When you mix in broccoli florets and cooked rice, then top the whole thing with crushed crackers and more Cheddar, you get a gooey holiday side with a crisp top. Use white or orange Cheddar or a mix of the 2, aiming for a range of 4 to 5 cups, based on how rich and cheesy you'd like it. And while this does contain a lot of broccoli, you'll probably want to serve a salad on the side.

Categories     dinner, weekday, casseroles, main course, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup unsalted butter, plus more for greasing dish
Kosher salt
3 to 4 large heads broccoli (about 3 1/2 pounds), trimmed of long stalks and cut into small florets
1 1/2 teaspoons red-pepper flakes
2 bunches scallions
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 1/2 cups whole milk
5 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
3 cups cooked long-grain white rice
2 cups coarsely crushed Ritz crackers

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees and butter a deep 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bright green. Drain immediately and set aside.
  • In a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter with 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes over medium heat. When melted, add the scallions, 1 teaspoon salt and the black pepper, and cook until scallions have softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the flour and stir to combine. Stir constantly for 1 to 2 minutes, until the flour streaks are slightly golden in color, then add the milk in a slow stream, stirring continuously.
  • Continue to stir the milk until the mixture is thick and creamy, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and add 4 cups of the cheese, stirring vigorously to melt it down into a smooth sauce. Taste and season with salt.
  • Add the cooked rice and parboiled broccoli to the pot and stir until evenly coated with sauce.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup grated cheese, Ritz crackers and remaining 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until bubbling. For more color, cook under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, watching carefully. Serve warm.

BROCCOLI BAKE



Broccoli Bake image

This easy broccoli bake with cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs is a creamy broccoli casserole that can be a main dish or a side at Thanksgiving.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
3/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
5 cups coarsely chopped broccoli florets ((about 1 1/4 pounds))
1/4 cup white whole wheat flour
1 3/4 cups non-fat milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 cup freshly grated extra sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a wide, deep cast iron (or other ovenproof) skillet. Once melted, pour the butter into a small mixing bowl, then combine with the Panko breadcrumbs and the Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet. Sprinkle the white whole wheat flour over the top, then whisk constantly for 1 minute, until the butter smells fragrant and the flour turns slightly golden. Very slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly, adding a little at a time so that you break up the clumps of flour as you go. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes, allowing the mixture to bubble. Stir in the garlic powder, salt, mustard, black pepper, and cayenne (if using). Remove the skillet from the heat, then stir in the cheddar until smooth.
  • Add the reserved broccoli, stir to coat, then pat the broccoli into an even layer in the skillet. (Alternatively, if you feel your skillet is not large enough to easily stir in the broccoli without it spilling out, you can combine the two in a separate bowl, then transfer the mixture back into the skillet.)
  • Sprinkle the Panko mixture evenly over the top of the broccoli. Bake until hot and the topping is crisp and light golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. (Tip: For an even crisper topping, place the skillet under your broiler for a few minutes at the end, watching carefully so that it doesn't burn.) Let stand 5 minutes, then serve.

BAKED BROCCOLI-AND-ARTICHOKE SHELLS



Baked Broccoli-and-Artichoke Shells image

When it comes to pairing up with artichokes, why should spinach get to have all of the fun? In this weeknight-friendly pasta bake, broccoli is the green machine responsible for adding that extra boost of vitamin C and fiber. But truth be told, it's the creamy cheddar cheese sauce and smoky bacon folded in before baking that makes this dish an all-around crowd-pleaser.
