This is a great simple broccoli dish the kids will love. It’s very cheese, but also quite economical. Great for potlucks or as a side dish with baked or grilled chicken. It goes together pretty quickly and is a rather frugal recipe. I hope you will give it try.
Velveeta Broccoli Casserole Recipe
- 2 packs of frozen broccoli
- 1 med. onion
- a little oil or margarine to saute the onion in (optional)
- 1 can cream of anything soup (homemade is fine)
- 1 c. milk
- 1/2 lb. Velveeta cheese
- 3 c. rice, cooked
Start by dicing your onion and sauteing it in the oil or margarine just until it is soft and starts to get translucent. Cook your broccoli for a few minutes in boiling water until it is tender. Drain the broccoli well.
Mix all ingredients (including the cooked broccoli and onion) together. I usually do this right in the greased casserole dish. If you prefer you could also mix everything in a large bowl and then pour it into your casserole dish. I cut the cheese into small cubes before I add it to the mix.
Bake everything at 350 F for 45 minutes.
If you’d like you can pour a few crushed crackers or some breadcrumbs on top of the casserole before baking. It will give it a nice golden crust. Serve your Velveeta broccoli casserole hot. Refrigerate any leftovers and reheat them the next day.
I made this velveeta broccoli casserole tonight to go with baked chicken. It was wonderful. Thank you !!
I made this casserole last night. I substituted a handful or two of shredded cheese for velveeta, homemade cream of whatever soup for a can, and added some sliced smoked turkey sausage. It was a hit and even better the next day for lunch.
