Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Parboil the broccoli florets until still crisp-tender and then drain well.
- Place the prepared broccoli in a 9x13 inch baking dish (or at least a 3 quart casserole dish).
- In a small bowl or 2 cup measure, mix together the soup, milk and 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
- Pour soup mixture over the broccoli and spread evenly.
- *Optional* Sprinkle more shredded cheese over the top of the soup mixture.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan then add breadcrumbs and mix together. The breadcrumbs should be lightly coated - use an amount that fits your needs.
- Spread breadcrumb mixture over the top of the casserole to cover.
- Bake for 30 minutes in the 350 degree oven (uncovered).
- I have prepared this dish the day before and covered it well and then actually baked it the next day and it does fine.
- You can also add cubed cooked chicken to this recipe (about 2 cups). Place the chicken over the broccoli layer and then pour the soup mixture over that. I usually make a bit more soup mixture when adding the chicken. Makes a great one dish meal using leftover ingredients.

Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
- Blanch the broccoli: Blanching the broccoli helps to preserve its color and crispness. To blanch the broccoli, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the broccoli and immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the scalloped broccoli. I recommend using a sharp cheddar cheese or a combination of cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
- Season the sauce well: Don't be afraid to season the sauce with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as paprika or cayenne pepper, to taste.
- Bake the scalloped broccoli until it is bubbly and golden brown: This will take about 20-25 minutes. You can also broil the scalloped broccoli for a few minutes at the end to get a crispy top.
Conclusion:
Cheesy scalloped broccoli is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a crowd-pleaser. So next time you are looking for a simple and delicious side dish, give cheesy scalloped broccoli a try. You won't be disappointed!
