Broccoli Casserole

And that's about how long it's going to take for me to put our broccoli casserole together

I'm starting with two 10-ounce boxes of frozen chopped broccoli. I've thrown it into the microwave

I've heated it up, thawed it out, and drained it. And like a lot of casseroles down south, this one starts out with mayonnaise

So we're going to add a cup of mayonnaise. Oh, and Garty loves mayonnaise too, don't you

All right, and then we're going to add some cream of mushroom soup

And then I'm going to add some cheese. The beauty of this is you can make it ahead of time

And then it's ready for us to just bowl up and stick in the oven and bake

But before we do that, I'm gonna beat up a couple of eggs

and throw it over into our casserole dish. This is gonna make the casserole kind of puff up

and kind of set up when it bakes. And that's it. If you would like, you could add some salt and pepper

or our house seasoning, all those good flavors. All right. What we're gonna do is just start

by crushing up our crackers. You know, sometimes I doubt the recipes

that I select to do on my show because I think well maybe they too simple too honest So I always thrilled to know that y too love the basic honest food and I not embarrassed by this dish and it delicious and I think you going to love it too but I do want

to show you a quick trick about buttering your crackers. What I'm going to do is I'm going to

take some melted butter, and I'm just going to pour it in the bag, and I'm going to do it like this

so everybody in there gets some butter. And that's much, much easier than standing up there

trying to drizzle it evenly. The thing I love about this casserole

is I can make it ahead of time. And, of course, you put it in the refrigerator

and the flavors have a chance to marry and they just make some taste better

But we're not going to do that today. We're not gonna let them marry and have fun

We're just gonna put them straight in the oven. I'm gonna put this in a preheated 350 degree oven

I'm gonna let it bake for about 30 minutes. All right, we're back and our casserole's ready

Oh, and the smell of broccoli is just really, really strong. Oh, and it's hot and just bubbling

You know, it just wouldn't be Thanksgiving without this casserole on the table

And it's so easy to make. Mmm. It's so good

Thank you
