Ingredients
  

  • Cooked Broccoli: Fresh broccoli is ideal for this dish—steam it until tender but still crisp. If you’re short on time frozen broccoli works too; just cook and drain it thoroughly to remove excess moisture.
  • Creamy Base Trio: This mix of cream cheese sour cream, and mayonnaise makes a rich, smooth texture. It can replace regular canned soups. This combination adds depth and creaminess to the casserole.
  • Cheese: Opt for shredded cheddar cheese for its sharp tangy flavor. For a twist, mix in Monterey jack cheese to add a mild, melty texture that complements the dish perfectly.
  • Seasonings: A mix of dried minced onion or onion powder garlic powder, dried parsley, kosher salt, and black pepper adds flavor. This gives the casserole a tasty and balanced taste.

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Creamy Mixture
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth. Add the dried minced onion (or onion powder), garlic powder, dried parsley, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure you distribute the seasonings evenly. Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese, creating a rich and flavorful base for your casserole.
  • Step 2: Add the Broccoli
  • Gently fold the steamed broccoli into the creamy mixture. Be careful not to overmix; this action keeps the broccoli intact and packs every bite with texture and flavor. Once combined, transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
  • Step 3: Top with Cheese
  • Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the broccoli mixture. This creates a golden, cheesy crust as it bakes, adding a delicious finishing touch to your casserole.
  • Step 4: Bake to Perfection
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Put the casserole dish in the oven.
  • Bake it for about 20 minutes. Melt the cheese until it becomes bubbly and lightly golden on top. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
