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!

EASY BROCCOLI-CHEESE CASSEROLE



Easy Broccoli-Cheese Casserole image

For the longest time, my mum would make this amazing broccoli casserole. It is more like a crustless quiche, but has converted many broccoli haters into broccoli lovers! I have not ever tweaked this recipe - not even to add minced garlic, sauteed onion, pimento, etc; it's too simple and delicious on its own to need tweaking. This can be made ahead and refrigerated before cooking. It freezes well and can be thawed prior to cooking.

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.
