Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 cups seasoned stuffing mix
- 1.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes, just until they turn bright green. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the seasoned stuffing mix to the skillet and stir to combine. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and continue stirring until the bread absorbs the liquid and becomes fluffy. Remove from heat.
Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter. Spread the blanched broccoli evenly across the bottom of the dish.
Spoon the stuffing mixture over the broccoli, spreading it evenly to cover.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the stuffing layer. Dot the top with the remaining tablespoon of butter for added flavor.
Lightly season with salt and black pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
