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.

Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I'm out of the loop. Went to make this and was stumped by "cheese product". Sounds kind of gross. What is it? ... Velveeta? BTW, my rating doesn't mean anything but they wouldn't let me post without making one!Read more

Wonderful!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I saw this on Paula's show yesterday and made it last night... AMAZING!! It was a big hit with my family! I quartered the... water chestnuts (we love them, but i didn't want a huge mouthful of just WC). For those where the dish came out too soupy... make sure your broccoli is very well drained, and don't steam it for too long!! I used frozen broccoli that you steam in the microwave and it turned out wonderfully (and made it that much easier). Next time I'm going to add cooked white rice and diced chicken and make it is a main dish. Thank you, Paula!!Read more

Very Tasty!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I know this is a family hit when my husband says "I'm going to eat too much of this." To make it a full meal deal, I added... grilled chicken breast. Instead of the cheddar cheese, I substituted parmesan and topped it with seasoned bread crumbs. Paula, you're a peach!Read more

Family Favorite!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this once and everyone loved it. The family has requested I bring it to every occasion. I used reduced fat cheese... product and it tasted just as good as using the regular.Read more
