Instructions:
-
Begin by preparing the frozen broccoli according to the package instructions, then drain thoroughly. This step ensures that your broccoli is perfectly tender yet crisp, ready to absorb all the delicious flavors to come. 🌿
-
Once the broccoli is drained, transfer it into a 1-1/2 quart casserole dish, spreading it evenly to create a solid base for the rest of your dish.
-
In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded American cheese, 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, and 1 can of condensed cream of mushroom soup. Mix these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. This mixture will serve as the rich, cheesy sauce that envelops the broccoli in delightful flavor. 🧀🥄
-
Pour the cheese and soup mixture over the broccoli in the casserole dish. Stir gently to ensure that every piece of broccoli is coated with the creamy sauce. This step is crucial for distributing the flavors evenly throughout the bake.
-
Top the casserole with 2 tablespoons of crushed crackers. This will create a delightful, crispy topping that contrasts beautifully with the creamy interior of the bake. 🥄🍪
-
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly. The aroma that fills your kitchen will be mouthwatering, and the result will be a perfectly baked dish with a crisp topping and a creamy, cheesy center.
-
Allow the bake to cool slightly before serving. This brief rest will help the flavors meld together and make serving a breeze. Enjoy this Golden Broccoli Bake as a delectable side dish at your next meal!
Whether you’re preparing a family dinner or need a quick and comforting side dish for a gathering, this Golden Broccoli Bake is sure to impress with its simple yet flavorful approach.
