Broccoli and Cheese Casserole

Today I am sharing this comfort food family favorite. I got this tasty recipe from my Mother-in-Law and let’s just say this is not your average Broccoli and Cheese Casserole. This recipe is made with Velveeta Cheese, which is not one of my favorite ingredients, to me, it’s just too creamy and the flavor is well Velveeta like.

But the trick to this addicting recipe is adding milk and butter to melted Velveeta which turns it into an amazing cheese sauce. I hope you will try it, it is one of our favorite holiday dishes. Enjoy!

    Can fresh broccoli be used instead of frozen?

      Hi Teri, Yes, but I would cook the fresh broccoli first or it will be too tough.

    I made this for Christmas dinner, getting out of microwave it was creamy and thick just right but after baking the sauce got watery. How come?

      Hi Tonya, I make this every year.. I am mot sure why t would be watery at all.. Did you defrost/cook the broccoli before you mixed it with the cheese sauce and baked it? I can’t think of any way there would be water left in it for it to be watery?

    How many cups of broccoli would this be?

      Hi Katie,
      I had trouble finding the spears this year and when I did (at Publix) they were not Publix brand but smaller boxes by Green Giant. So I used 4, 9oz boxes instead of 2. You could use a large bag of broccoli florets if you have it instead. I am not sure how many cups. Just fill the 2-quart casserole dish. If I had to guess I would say 6 cups. I hope this helps.

    I can see my youngest eating this with rice as a meal. It would make a nice veggie meal for her since she doesn’t eat a lot of meat.
