Ingredients

2 pounds fresh broccoli, trimmed and cut up
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the casserole
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 (8-ounce) can sliced water chestnuts
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 pound cheese product, softened
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup grated Cheddar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9 by 13-inch casserole.

Steam the broccoli until tender, about 10 minutes. In the meantime, melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat and saute the celery, mushrooms, and onion until softened, about 10 minutes; drain. Combine the broccoli and the cooked vegetables in a bowl.

Heat the soup and softened cheese product in a saucepan over low heat until the cheese melts. Pour it over the broccoli mixture. Add the garlic salt and pepper and combine.

Put it into the buttered casserole dish and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle the top with the grated Cheddar the last 5 minutes of baking.

YUM
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this last night with her mushroom rice and chicken. It was sooooo good! I loved every mouthful. It wasn't overly cheesy.... You could still taste the broccoli and yet it was creamy and wonderful. My family loved it. Paula I loved you always, but you are fast becoming a favorite. Read more

Tasty
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We thought this was really tasty, and easy to make. I did the whole process in my Calphalon steamer, so it was a one pan... process for me, with the exception of the casserole dish. I steamed the broccoli for only FIVE minutes and then shocked in cold water. Dumped out the hot water/steamer basket, sauted the veggies, drained, put in a bowl, and then did the cheese mixture in the same pot. Mixed everything in with the cheese, and poured into a casserole dish. The broccoli turned out perfect, not the least bit mushy, and still somewhat on the crisp side. I mixed it gently again after baking, and served in a pretty white bowl. (This recipe does not need any additional salt other then the garlic salt called for) Whoola, very tasty, and easy clean-up.

Perfect one-'pot meal' when you add chicken
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I added about 2 cups of cooked chopped chicken, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. The end result is an absolutely... delicious meal! This is a new favorite in our house. Thank you for sharing it with us.Read more
