CHICKEN, BROCCOLI, AND CHEDDAR CASSEROLE



Chicken, Broccoli, and Cheddar Casserole image

Super comfort food, but kinda healthy because it has broccoli in it, right? My grandmother passed this chicken and Cheddar recipe down and it is a family favorite. After the first time I made it, I went on a casserole kick and made it twice a week for 3 months straight! I typically serve this over rice, but it is just as great by itself. Last time I didn't make rice, but served it with bread.

HAM AND BROCCOLI BREAKFAST CASSEROLE WITH EXTRA-SHARP CHEDDAR



Ham and Broccoli Breakfast Casserole With Extra-Sharp Cheddar image

I was at a church brunch recently and the ladies at my table started talking about egg casseroles. It was fun to hear everyone's take on them...for both sides...the cooking them and the eating them. After listening contentedly for a few minutes, I chimed in with a few thoughts myself. "I love to add some flare to my egg casseroles...whether it be a particular spice, or a bold and delicious cheese." I went on to tell them about this one dish egg casserole that I brought and why I chose the extra-sharp, how it took me what felt like 9 minutes to locate the extra-sharp cheddar cheese in the cheese department, and how I used the English muffins because it's what I found in my freezer. I loved the balance of flavors and textures in this egg casserole. The crushed red pepper gives a hint of heat. The paprika brings a bit of smoky sweetness, and the ham and broccoli work perfectly with the rich and deep flavor of the extra-sharp cheddar cheese. I hope you enjoy the rich flavor that the extra-sharp cheddar cheese brings to this one dish egg casserole!
