Today's show is all about a house warming.
0:05
And I'm gonna be fixin' up a meal
0:07
and I'm gonna be taking it to Jamie and Brooke's house.
0:09
They just bought this beautiful house on the water,
0:12
and the two kids are, they're just exhausted.
0:15
But I did wanna have a few of their friends in
0:18
to help them warm up their new home.
0:21
And you know, the last thing they gon' wanna do is cook.
0:25
So mama's gonna do the cookin'.
0:27
And I'm gonna start today by makin' a cheesy broccoli bake.
0:32
All right, we're gonna start by meltin'
0:34
a couple of tablespoons of butter,
0:36
and then I'm gonna saute our celery.
0:40
We're gonna toss in our onions.
0:42
And I'm gonna add regular button mushrooms.
0:45
Now I'm gonna let these saute right by themselves.
0:48
Now we're gonna move over here,
0:50
I've got two pounds of fresh broccoli.
0:53
I've got water chestnuts, I've got cream of mushroom soup.
0:58
I've got garlic salt, and I've got a soft cheese product.
1:03
And I'm gonna start by melting together the cheese
1:10
and the cream of mushroom soup.
1:15
And I'm just gonna melt those together,
1:16
and I'm gonna add the garlic salt to the sauce
1:21
I'm gonna toss in my water chestnuts.
1:24
I love these because you know they don't have
1:27
a whole bunch of taste to 'em,
1:29
but I love the crunch that they give to this dish.
1:35
Jamie and Brooke are so lucky that they were able
1:38
to find a beautiful house here in Savannah.
1:42
And Jamie said, when he found the house, he said,
1:45
"Mama this is the house we're gonna live in forever.
1:48
"This is the house that we're gonna
1:50
"raise our eight children in."
1:54
I really do hope that this is the place
1:56
they can stay forever.
1:58
Aren't our cheeses meltin' up nicely.
2:03
All right, now our mushrooms,
2:04
and celery, and onions are done.
2:11
add those to the broccoli and the water chestnuts.
2:17
Now we've got our cheese, and our soup,
2:19
and our garlic salt melted.
2:21
And you can see it's nice and creamy.
2:24
You can see how smooth that cheese melts out.
2:31
And I'm just gonna pour that
2:36
over the broccoli and the other vegetables.
2:43
There is just nothin' like a casserole.
2:47
Tastes good, it works great for leftovers.
2:52
All right, now I'm just gonna toss this together.
2:55
And then all we have to do is put this in the oven
3:01
and just heat all the ingredients all the way through
3:05
because I think I failed to tell y'all
3:07
the broccoli that I started with
3:09
was two pounds of broccoli that I had steamed off.
3:13
So it's not raw, I did steam it off.
3:16
So everything's cooked,
3:19
but we're just gonna bake this for about 25 minutes.
3:22
Doesn't that look good?
3:28
I'm gonna just spray our dish.
3:30
All right, now we've got it well mixed.
3:33
Let's transfer this to our bakin' dish.
3:58
I've got two casseroles, I've got one ready.
4:00
And now you don't wanna cheese this at the beginning,
4:07
because if this cheese sat on it for 25 minutes
4:12
it would get a hard crust, and we don't want that.
4:14
We want it just melted, and runnin' softly through
4:20
the top of this casserole.
4:23
All right, so in the oven this is gonna go,
4:25
it's just that simple.
4:35
All right, so that'll stay just for a few minutes,
4:38
just until it's melted.
4:42
Hey I'm so glad y'all are back
4:43
because the broccoli bake's ready, look at it.
4:47
I've just got to sample it.
4:48
And I think I'm pretty good at sampling stuff
4:54
without messin' it up.
5:05
I think I've got a little bit of everything on that fork.
5:08
(blowing on broccoli)
5:21
Can you hear the crunch?
5:23
I love those water chestnuts.
5:26
You're gonna love it.
