RITZY BROCCOLI CASSEROLE



Ritzy Broccoli Casserole image

Buttery crackers, creamy, and cheesy...oh yeah, broccoli for the health benefits:) OK, so its not healthy but it's sooo good! Not my recipe but a coworker's. She's actually not allowed to bring anything but a doubled up version of this to any potlucks. Somehow I had managed to reach the age of 35 without ever having any type of broccoli casserole and now will only ever have this one. This is a very easy recipe to double or triple as well. This is best reheated back in the oven. I form HD foil into a pan shape for single servings and reheat at 350 for 10 min or so. The top gets crisp and buttery again.

Tips:

  • Prep work: To save time, cut the broccoli into florets and chop the onion and celery in advance. You can also cook the broccoli ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble the casserole.
  • Choose the right cheese: Cheddar cheese is a classic choice for broccoli casserole, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as Parmesan, Gruyère, or Swiss.
  • Add some crunch: To add some extra texture and flavor to your casserole, try topping it with crushed crackers, breadcrumbs, or chopped nuts before baking.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be tender but still have a slight crunch to it. Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Let the casserole rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the casserole to set up properly. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Broccoli casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover broccoli, and it's also a perfect side dish for a holiday meal. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a broccoli casserole recipe that everyone will love.
