welcome Deronda here with foods 101 thanksgiving day is right around the corner and i'm going to
show you how to make this very simple don't let it intimidate you broccoli cheese casserole a
fabulous side dish for your thanksgiving day feast the ingredients you're going to need is two 16
ounce bags of frozen broccoli florets let these saw on the refrigerator overnight the day you
make your casserole one 10.5 ounce can of cream of mushroom soup we're not going to dilute this with
water or milk we're going to use it straight from the can one cup of freshly grated kobe jack cheese
one cup of freshly grated sharp white cheddar cheese one six ounce can of your crispy fried
onions and one cup of sour cream let me show you how simple and easy this is to get together in
a two to three quart sauce pan add all your sour cream i love using a spatula
because you can get it all out of your bowl try not to leave any behind add your cream of mushroom
soup along with a cup and a half of your cheese you probably want to reserve about a half a cup
for the top and i love grating my cheese so it's nice and fresh the kind of cheese you buy in the
bag that's already shredded and it's cornstarch on it so it's not going to give you this lovely
cheesy creamy texture on any dish that you're making but by all means you can go ahead and use
it with our crispy fried onion rings we're going to add a cup and a half into our mixture here and
we'll reserve the rest for the top give this a stirring over here to the oven top over medium
heat we're going to stir for about four to five minutes and i'm gonna get a bigger spatula here
until all these ingredients are well combined and the cheeses begin to melt continue stirring for
the next four to five minutes after five minutes the cheese i'm turning off my timer the cheese has
melted that sour cream and the soup has really become really nice and creamy next we're going
to add our two 16 ounce bags a broccoli florets i just stir in one bag at a time fold it in
and at this point you want your oven preheated to 325 degrees fahrenheit we're going to add our last
bag of our broccoli florets i'm using a two and a half quart saucepan here it would have been a
little easier if i would have used a three quart or a four quart sauce pan all right and just blend
this with the soup and sour cream mixture this looks fabulous now over here to its baking dish
i'm adding just a little bit of olive oil to quart dish we're going to swish it around from
corner to corner and take it up on the sides just like that spoon in our broccoli mixture
it smells so so yummy once you get it all in here just work your florets around until you have an
even layer that looks perfect this is off to that preheated oven on the middle rack for the next 30
to 35 minutes or until bubbly use your timer and no peeking okay after 35 minutes i'm gonna turn
off my timer pull out the casserole you see it bubbling along the edge there that's what you're
looking for until we start adding this additional bees you can sprinkle it right on the top or you
can take it out of the oven and do it i'm gonna leave that up to you once you get the cheese on
add your remaining crispy fried onions it's gonna be so delicious this goes back in the oven for an
additional 15 minutes use your timer and no peeking broccoli cheese casserole at its best
listen to it bubble
and it smells so yummy if that doesn't scream thanksgiving day side dish i don't know what does
i'm going to let it cool down and then i'll show you what it looks like on the inside
give it a taste and i can already tell it's going to be fabulous oh let's dig in
mmm smells so good and looky there at that still super duper warm this is a 9 by nine inch pan
