Ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 6 cups prepared stuffing mix
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 cup optional topping: French-fried onions or breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Steam or blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

Stir in the sautéed onions, shredded cheddar cheese (reserving 1/2 cup for topping), and cooked broccoli florets. Mix everything gently but thoroughly.

Step 6

Layer the prepared stuffing mix evenly over the bottom of the greased baking dish.

Step 7

Pour the broccoli and cheese mixture over the stuffing, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese on top. If using an optional topping like French-fried onions or breadcrumbs, sprinkle it over the cheese.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and golden on top.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Cheesy Broccoli Stuffing Casserole!
