Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 2 quart casserole dish with cooking spray.

- While waiting for the broccoli to come to a boil, beat the cream cheese and eggs in a large bowl until smooth. Add the condensed soup, ranch dressing, sour cream, mayonnaise, onion, and flour; mix well. Stir in the drained broccoli along with the Cheddar cheese until evenly mixed. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Toss the dry stuffing mix with the melted butter, and spread evenly over the top of the casserole.

PEGGY'S BROCCOLI SALAD
My mom Peggy lost 67.5 pounds on Weight Watchers and kept it off for over 10 years and was also a WW Leader. She was always looking for new ways to prepare foods so they were enjoyable and healthy. This salad fits the bill and therefore is named in her honor. You can certainly use real sugar or mayonnaise (in the same quantities as listed) but why waste the calories when the light/no sugar version tastes this good? No one at your table will notice anything is missing and they will probably ask you to make it again and again . . . And why not? Not only does it taste great, it is low in calories, and a great way to eat your veggies.

Steps:
- Cut up Broccoli into small pieces. If you do not like the stalks they can be removed and only use the florets. Place broccoli into your serving bowl that has a lid.
- Slice the red onion into thin circles. Pop the layers of the onion out so the circles are separated. Place in bowl with the broccoli.
- In a separate bowl mix the remaining ingredients. Use a fork or a whisk to make sure everything is thoroughly combined. Pour dressing over the broccoli and onions.
- Cover the container securely with the lid and shake well.
- The salad can be served immediately. I prefer to let it chill overnight and serve it right from the refrigerator. If you get a chance while it is chilling flip the container over at least once so that the dressing can fully coat all of the vegetables. Shake again before serving.
- Enjoy.
Tips:
- Utilize fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli florets offer the best flavor and texture to the casserole. For optimal results, choose broccoli heads with tightly closed florets and a vibrant green color.
- Blanch the broccoli: Prior to incorporating broccoli into the casserole, blanch it in boiling water for a few minutes. This step helps preserve the vibrant green color and slightly softens the broccoli, reducing the overall cooking time.
- Use high-quality cheese: Opt for high-quality cheddar cheese for a rich, flavorful casserole. Freshly grated cheese melts more smoothly and evenly, resulting in a creamy and cohesive dish.
- Season the casserole generously: Don't shy away from adding seasonings to the casserole. A combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder enhances the overall flavor profile.
- Top with crispy bread crumbs: For an enticing golden-brown crust, top the casserole with a mixture of bread crumbs, melted butter, and grated Parmesan cheese. This simple addition adds texture and flavor.
