Irresistible Broccoli Casserole Recipes That'll Make You Want to Eat Your Veggies

Broccoli is one of the most versatile veggies on the market. You can turn it into soups, frittatas, stir-fries and more — even the stalks can be put to delicious use! Wrapped and stored properly (in the fridge!), broccoli can last up to a week. While there’s no denying broccoli is a great complementary side dish for many mains, a hearty casserole never disappoints. Sunny’s 5-star dish is filled with rice, mushrooms, frozen broccoli and Cheddar. Serve it as a company-worthy side or a comforting main.

We used one of our favorite creamy cheeses, Havarti, in this comforting casserole. The mild Danish cheese is widely available in different flavors — try dill or caraway for an extra punch.

Low-maintenance and packed with flavor, this creamy casserole transforms dorm-friendly ramen noodles into a satisfying casserole for a crowd.

This casserole is super satisfying and creamy and uses a great trick to cut out extra butter and oil: Instead of making the traditional roux with butter, thicken the cream sauce with a little flour.

Whisk together a buttery roux flavored with scallions and gruyere to form the base of this mouthwatering dish. Stir in broccoli, chicken and slivered almonds, then top with cheesy breadcrumbs before baking to perfection.

The panko-cheese topping on this casserole bakes up golden-brown and irresistibly crunchy.

This vegetarian side dish is comfort food at its finest. Tender broccoli is sauced with creamy Cheddar and crowned with a buttery, crunchy cracker topping. It's sure to steal the show.

Ree says her broccoli casserole is a cherished Thanksgiving staple, but we see no reason to limit this crowd-pleaser to just once a year. Loaded with four kinds of cheese, it’s creamy and absolutely dreamy.

Rotisserie chicken is the shortcut secret to this easy casserole. Combine it with broccoli, rice and cheese for a family-pleaser that’s ready in only 40 minutes.

Ree makes a homemade cream of mushroom sauce to add flavor and, you guessed it, a rich and creamy texture to this casserole. Stir it together with cooked wild rice and blanched broccoli, then sprinkle with panko breadcrumbs for a crunchy finishing touch.

Forget breadcrumbs. Crumbled crackers give this casserole its amazing topping. Simply crush the crackers in a plastic bag along with fresh thyme and oregano, smoked paprika, cayenne, black pepper, and melted butter — you won’t regret it!
