EASY BROCCOLI-CHEESE CASSEROLE
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.

EASY CHICKEN BROCCOLI CASSEROLE
Most of the chicken broccoli casseroles I've seen here all have mayonaisse. Ick! This recipe uses a mixture of three different soups instead for it's creamy texture. The original recipe calls for cooked chicken breasts and cooked broccoli. I don't have time to cook things before I cook them! So I've always used uncooked chicken and frozen uncooked broccoli. Seems fine to me! :) Cooking time doesn't reflect pre-cooking of the chicken or broccoli... I can't stand cheddar cheese so I substitute mozzarella because that's the only cheese I can eat. I don't like mushrooms either, so I never put them in. Feel free to experiment!

EASY CHICKEN BROCCOLI CASSEROLE
We've been talking about soups and how they can help your cooking. Many brands have the sodium and fat removed. Here is something that relies on soup - and is really very good. I use canned chicken often for this one because I can keep all the ingredients (except the broccoli) on my pantry shelf.

GERDA'S QUICK AND EASY BROCCOLI CASSEROLE
An easy to make, healthy, delicious side dish. One of my friends tried it with frozen spinach and loved it, so either broccoli or spinach will bring you a fabulous vegetable dish minus the cheese, but if you must have cheese add about 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese on the top of the casserole before baking.

Tips:
- Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli florets are best for this casserole. If you're using frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it and drain it well before adding it to the casserole.
- Cook the broccoli until it's tender-crisp: You don't want to overcook the broccoli, or it will become mushy. Cook it just until it's tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use Parmesan, Swiss, or Gruyère cheese.
- Don't skimp on the butter: Butter adds flavor and richness to this casserole. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of butter when you're making it.
- Serve the casserole hot: This casserole is best served hot out of the oven. It can be made ahead of time and reheated, but it's best when it's fresh.
