How to Make Carrot Broccoli Casserole

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup chopped carrots, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 1/2 cup chopped onion. Sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Grease a 1.5-quart baking dish.
Transfer the carrot, celery, and onion mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add 2 cups of chopped broccoli florets and sauté for 1 minute.
Spread the sautéed broccoli over the carrot mixture in the baking dish.
Sprinkle 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the broccoli.
Pour 1 cup of chicken broth evenly over the casserole.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil, sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the vegetables are tender.
Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
