Broccoli cheese casserole is a great side dish for just about any meal. It’s ultra cheesy, creamy and has a delectable buttery crumb topping.
Most recently, I made it for Easter dinner to go along with our ham and it was a huge hit! It’s the best broccoli casserole recipe I’ve made so far.
Ingredients needed for broccoli cheese bake
- Cream of mushroom soup
- Milk – I prefer whole milk as it helps create a creamier sauce.
- Yellow mustard
- Garlic powder – If you only have garlic salt, you can use it, but omit the regular salt if you do.
- Black pepper
- Salt
- Lemon peel – I use this exact dried lemon peel.
- Broccoli florets or broccoli cuts – I prefer florets but either will work, and you’ll need to let it thaw beforehand.
- Shredded sharp Cheddar cheese – You could also use regular Cheddar, a Cheddar blend, Swiss or even Mozzarella.
- Plain bread crumbs
- Butter
