Broccoli and Cheese Recipe

Hi girls. My aunt who has passed away, use to make this amazingly fattening brocoli and cheese casserole dish. It was brocoli in a pan with melted cheedar cheese and like a bread crumb crusting.

Would anyone happen to have a similar recipe for this?? Thanks

Can you tell I am doing Easter this year in my new home! :) Nervous as hell! So I will make all fattening dishes so everyone will be so busy eating, they will not even notice that I have no furniture and haven't finished painting! :)

I cant imagine it being that hard to make.. i would melt some cheddar with a little butter and some milk, then when it gets thick and creamy, pour it over some broccoli in a cassarole dish and sprinkle bread crumbs on the top.. then back at 350 until the breadcrumbs brown..thats my best advise..

Thank you! :)

That was my idea, but I am so afraid of messing it up! But that seems right to me!

Have a happy holiday.

Thank you!

One more thing, do you think I should unseasoned bread crumbs? I only use the Progresso Italian, but I don't know if that is a good idea.

And yes Cheese is always good! :) Just ask my thighs!

Re: Broccoli and Cheese Recipe

This is the recipe my step-mother makes:

3 pkgs of frozen broccoli
1 C. of Mayo (light can be used)
1 can of Cream of Mushroom Soup
2 eggs beaten
1 1/2- 2 cups of grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 C. of plain bread crumbs

Cook broccoli SLIGHTLY in microwave

Put cooked broccoli in retangle baking dish

Mix eggs, cheese, mayo & mushroom soup together in bowl

Pour of broccoli and mix slightly

Bake in 350 oven for 15 minutes. Then sprinkle with bread crumbs on top and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes

***** I hate mushrooms and until I started making this I never even knew it was mushroom soup, for anyone else who hates mushrooms*****

Re: Broccoli and Cheese Recipe

I will. I know its more of a thanksgiving/christmas dish, but I have been dying for it, for years mind you! I finally have the space in the kitchen and the desire to attempt this (before now i didn't even have a recipe). Thanks once again!
