Ingredients
- 2 (10.8 ounce) packages frozen chopped broccoli (or about 8-9 cups of fresh broccoli florets)
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup (I use Campbell's Heart Healthy variety)
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or substitute with milk or water)
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ small onion, grated (or substitute with 1 teaspoon of onion powder)
- ¾ cup dry stuffing mix (I use Pepperidge Farm Herb Seasoned Stuffing Mix, but you can also substitute with an equal amount of crushed Ritz crackers)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease or spray an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish (or other 2-quart baking dish) with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. Cook the broccoli in the microwave, just until crisp tender (about half of the time called for on the package). You don’t want to cook the broccoli until it’s too soft because it will continue cooking when you bake the casserole. Place the broccoli in colander to drain.
- In a small saucepan over very low heat, stir together the condensed soup, cheese, and lemon juice, just until the cheese melts. Do not let the cheese get too warm, or it can separate resulting in a grainy texture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, mayonnaise, and grated onion. Combine the broccoli, soup mixture, and egg mixture. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- In a small bowl, stir together the dry stuffing mix and the melted butter. Sprinkle the buttered crumbs on top of the casserole.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and topping is golden brown.

Notes
- Prep-Ahead: You can assemble this casserole in advance, through Step 4. Cover tightly and keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Bake according to instructions above. If baking from frozen, you will need to double the baking time to make sure that the casserole is completely heated through. Leave the frozen casserole covered for the first half of baking so that the top doesn't burn.
