Lighterbroccolicasserole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Steam the broccoli in a pan with 1/2-inch water, over medium heat, until crisp tender. Drain and add to a large bowl. Add the cream of mushroom soup, stuffing mix, and butter and stir to combine. Spread evenly into a 9 by 13-inch ovenproof baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes topping with cheese before last 10 minutes of cooking. Remove from the oven and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix all ingredients together.
• Place in a 2 quart casserole dish.
• Bake for 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees and butter a deep 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bright green. Drain immediately and set aside.
• In a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter with 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes over medium heat. When melted, add the scallions, 1 teaspoon salt and the black pepper, and cook until scallions have softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the flour and stir to combine. Stir constantly for 1 to 2 minutes, until the flour streaks are slightly golden in color, then add the milk in a slow stream, stirring continuously.
• Continue to stir the milk until the mixture is thick and creamy, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and add 4 cups of the cheese, stirring vigorously to melt it down into a smooth sauce. Taste and season with salt.
• Add the cooked rice and parboiled broccoli to the pot and stir until evenly coated with sauce.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup grated cheese, Ritz crackers and remaining 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until bubbling. For more color, cook under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, watching carefully. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Thaw and drain the broccoli. Mix all ingredients, pour into a greased casserole pan, and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes.
• Note: I would feel free to substitute other fat-free "cream of" soups, and also to change the cheese, as long as you use light or the 2% cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, whisk together first five ingredients. Stir in broccoli, chicken, onion and 1/4 cup cheese. Transfer to a greased 9-in. pie plate. Sprinkle with remaining cheese., Bake until golden brown and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 15-20 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
