Broccoli Casserole Recipe With Melted Cream Cheese

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 going to beat up a couple of eggs

and throw it over into our casserole dish. This is going to 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 going to 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're 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

get 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 gonna 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 in 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, so good
