Take-out Tuesday, No clean up Cheesy Broccoli Casserole
You probably have a favorite broccoli casserole recipe,
this post is more about the method than the recipe
I am always looking for short cuts in the kitchen, and if you take a minute to think through your recipe, you might be amazed at how you can make little changes for big time differences…
This broccoli casserole recipe can be completely made in the dish it bakes in, no clean up required!
First spray your dish with cooking spray
Rinse broccoli and place in dish, the water from rinsing will help it cook
Cover and microwave on high for 3 minutes
This is just enough time to steam the broccoli to a vibrant green color without overcooking it
Drain broccoli if any water remains, and place on cutting board to chop
Now put the butter into the baking dish
Microwave it for 1 minute on high or until melted
Stir in mushroom soup
Fill soup can 1/4 way with cream or milk, then stir cream into soup in baking dish
Break egg into soup can and stir with spoon to mix yolk with white then add to soup mixture
Stir in 1/2 of cheese
Add chopped broccoli
Stir to combine
Sprinkle the top with remaining cheese
Cover and refrigerate at this point if desired for baking later
No extra dishes to clean up!
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees, 30-45 minutes until heated through and bubbling
Top with french fried onions and return to oven for 2-3 minutes to heat onions

Jenna, now I like broccoli with lots of cheese! Using only one dish makes broccoli even more appealing! The hubby would love this…he is a man that loves a good casserole! Happy Tuesday!
I love most vegetables, and this looks great. I’m all for organizing clean up. 😉
Yum, looks great! 🙂
Love an easy cleanup.
This looks so easy! And I love your step out pix. For me, anything with French fried onions on top is a keeper!
Excuse me – I am salivating over broccoli and it is breakfast time! I love broccoli – what my kids used to call “trees” – I think this would make it over the top!
Yummy, I love broccoli. I love your watercolor.
YUM! A Classic – I would only change cream of mushroom soup to cream of chicken or celery or onion 🙂
This looks yummy, Jenna!! I like how easy it is! 💚👍
Sounds good, I like the idea of serving it over a potato too:@)
Such a comfort dish and great alternative to green been casserole!
Hi Jenna, It’s been years since I’ve had broccoli casserole…andI would love this even more served over a potato! I’m all for one pot/dish meals with minimal clean up. 🙂
OH yum, this looks delicious! Thanks for the recipe……
Your broccoli dish could change every non broccoli eater out there into a broccoli lover. 🙂
