Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 6 cups prepared stuffing mix
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 cup optional topping: French-fried onions or breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Steam or blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Stir in the sautéed onions, shredded cheddar cheese (reserving 1/2 cup for topping), and cooked broccoli florets. Mix everything gently but thoroughly.
Layer the prepared stuffing mix evenly over the bottom of the greased baking dish.
Pour the broccoli and cheese mixture over the stuffing, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese on top. If using an optional topping like French-fried onions or breadcrumbs, sprinkle it over the cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Cheesy Broccoli Stuffing Casserole!
