My Favorite Broccoli Cheese Casserole
This Broccoli Cheese Casserole is my #1 favorite side dish! It’s SO good! It’s special enough for a holiday table & simple enough for a weeknight meal!
Broccoli is one of those foods that I didn’t like as a child, but I sure do eat up as an adult.  My favorite way to eat broccoli is in this casserole.  It’s so scrumptious & irresistible – even my kids look forward to having it.  It is on several weekly menus, plus every holiday menu too – including our upcoming Easter dinner. I also love to make this for Thanksgiving & Christmas dinners.
I would take this broccoli casserole over any green bean casserole for sure. There is something just so warm & comforting about it, not to mention that oozy-ness of the cheese. Â Oh my.
I mean, c’mon.  Look at the pictures.  There’s your proof right there!  How could that not be good?

This looks very yummy! Have to try it for my hubby when he comes home from work next week. We do love our green vegetables and cheese.
My family loves this recipe today will be my second time making it is really delicious…the only thing I did different was using a homemade cream of…soup in stead of the can because I had everything else except for that….
I’m so glad to hear this! Enjoy!!
I’ve never tried it with anything else, we go thru them pretty fast here. But, I don’t see why trying another combination wouldn’t work. Let me know how it turns out!
Can the mayo be omitted? Will it change the taste alot?
How many servings for this recipe?
About 8 🙂
I made this last night and it was a big hit with my family. It was quick and easy.
So happy to hear this – thank you for coming back & sharing your recipe success! 🙂
This sounds great must give it a try, however can i use less mayo or omit it altogether?
Can you substitute the cream of mushroom for something else?
You can use another ‘cream of’ soup such as cream of chicken.
I love this recipe! Found it a few years ago and made it for Family Christmas dinner – big hit. First time I tried it – I accidently sprinkled cayenne pepper instead of paprika – It had a nice little kick. I also switched the 1 cup mayo to 1/2 cup mayo and 1/2 cup sour cream :-). USE REAL MAYONAISSE it makes the difference.
