  • Cook the broccoli properly: Blanching the broccoli before adding it to the casserole helps to preserve its color and nutrients.
  • Use a variety of cheese: A combination of different cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan, adds flavor and texture to the casserole.
  • Add some bread crumbs: Bread crumbs help to absorb moisture and give the casserole a crispy topping.
  • Season the casserole well: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices for seasoning the casserole.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the casserole is cooked all the way through and that the cheese is melted and bubbly.
