Description:
A cherished dish loved by both my husband and daughter, this Broccoli Casserole has garnered rave reviews. To address concerns about the number of pans used, I’ve devised a clever technique. After cooking and draining the broccoli, transfer it to the casserole dish while utilizing the same pan for crafting the luscious sauce. Pour the broccoli back into the pan to coat it evenly before returning everything to the casserole dish. A quick rinse of the saucepan (no need for it to be spotless, just a rinse will do), and it becomes the vessel for creating the irresistible melted butter and breadcrumb mixture. For those opting to microwave their broccoli, the casserole dish can double as your cooking vessel. Hope these tips make your cooking experience seamless and enjoyable!
