How to Make Amazing Broccoli Cheese Casserole

  1. Steam or boil 1 large head of broccoli (approximately 1 pound) until tender-crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion, 8 ounces cheese whiz, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Gently stir in the cooked broccoli until evenly coated.
  4. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  6. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup melted butter and 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs (or stuffing mix). Sprinkle evenly over the cheese.
  7. Bake, covered, in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
