What is a Casserole?
Casserole refers to the cookware used in making one. A casserole dish is made for the oven. It is a thick glass, Pyrex, ceramic or enamel dish, usually oblong, that often comes with a cover. It should be at least a couple of inches in depth. No kitchen would be complete without at least one casserole dish!
One reason casseroles have developed the reputation as the family-friendly fare is that they are a great way to stretch ingredients into a filling meal. You can adapt this broccoli casserole recipe to suit what you have in your cupboard.
You can easily turn any leftover meats into a casserole by cutting them into chunks. Leftover chicken breasts are perfect for making chicken broccoli rice casserole. Everything tastes great in a cheese sauce!
How to Make Broccoli Casserole
Broccoli and cheese casserole is a quick and easy dish, using only 5 ingredients to create this creamy cheesy base. It is perfect to make ahead and takes only 30 mins to bake to golden brown perfection!
- Separate the broccoli crowns into bite-sized florets and combine with remaining ingredients and place in a casserole dish.
- Mix topping ingredients spread over casserole.
- Bake until toasted golden brown.
Be sure to watch your topping carefully – it can burn quite easily. To buffer against burning, replace half the butter with olive oil!

Might sound like a stupid question but if you double the the ingredients to make a large dish would that change the cook time?
That’s a great question Cole! We haven’t tried doubling the ingredients, but I’d suggest putting in a 9×13 dish. Check at the timing notied in the recipe, but it may require a few extra minutes to be done to your liking. Let us know how it goes!
