Cheesy Ranch Broccoli Bake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12x8-inch (2-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
• In large (at least 4-quart) microwavable glass bowl, mix broccoli, bell pepper and water; cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on High 4 to 5 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes, until broccoli is bright in color and hot; drain. Return broccoli and bell pepper to bowl.
• Place cream cheese spread and milk in medium microwavable glass bowl. Microwave uncovered on High 1 minute; use whisk to blend (mixture will have a few small lumps).
• Stir dressing mix into cream cheese mixture; mix well. Add cheese; stir to combine. Pour cheese mixture over broccoli and bell pepper; toss to coat. Spread in baking dish.
• In small bowl, toss crackers with melted butter. Sprinkle over broccoli.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Place cereal in resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and crush with rolling pin or meat mallet. In small bowl, mix cereal and olive oil; set aside. In 1 1/2-quart casserole, place broccoli; cover and microwave on High 3 minutes. Drain; set aside.
• Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat margarine until melted. Stir in flour, salt, mustard and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with wire whisk, until smooth and bubbly. Stir in milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute; remove from heat. Stir in cheese until melted. Pour sauce over broccoli in casserole. Sprinkle with cereal mixture.
• Bake uncovered 18 to 20 minutes or until hot.

Steps:

• Bring 3 cups water to boil in large saucepan on medium-high heat. Add broccoli; simmer 3 min. or until crisp-tender.
• Drain broccoli; place in serving dish. Drizzle with dressing.

Steps:

• Heat bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook, flipping occasionally until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and pepper; cook in hot bacon drippings over medium-high heat, stirring often, until chicken is golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside. Chicken will not be fully cooked at this point.
• Add shallot and garlic to drippings and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 2 minutes. Stir in water and milk; use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from bottom of the Dutch oven. Stir in pasta and ranch dressing mix. Bring to a boil and simmer for 6 minutes.
• Return chicken to the Dutch oven and add broccoli. Cook until pasta is tender and chicken is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in Cheddar cheese and sour cream to combine. Crumble cooked bacon over the top and serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch dish.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add chicken and continue to boil until no longer pink, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine broccoli, cream of chicken soup, Cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, sour cream, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well.
• Drain chicken and add to broccoli mixture. Mix well. Pour into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Add remaining Parmesan cheese on top and continue to bake until cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Thaw the cauliflower and broccoli. Preheat oven to 350. I like my veggies softer so I steam them in the microwave for about 5 minutes first (just place them in a bowl with a little water and cover, then microwave). Place butter in the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan and let melt in oven. Place the vegetables in the baking dish and sprinkle with the ranch seasoning. Cover with the cheese and bake 10-15 minute or until the cheese is completely melted. Very easy, simple and a good way to flavor the veggies for my low carbers out there.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat broiler on high.
• Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Melt one tablespoon butter in large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden brown, about three minutes per side. Transfer to plate.
• Add remaining butter and onion to empty skillet and cook until onion is beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in flour and cook until golden, about one minute. Whisk in broth, cream and sherry and simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Return chicken to skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to broiler-safe (non glass/ceramic) baking dish.
• While the chicken is cooking, microwave broccoli on high power, covered, in a large bowl until bright green and slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add broccoli and 1 cup cheese to skillet, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper and pour broccoli mixture over chicken. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top and broil until browned and bubbly, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve hot.
