Buttery Broccoli Cheese Casserole
Buttery Broccoli Cheese Casserole

Very simple and unbelievably delicious.  I first had this when it was served at an impromptu Thanksgiving dinner given by a neighbor whose plans changed due to bad weather.  She’s long since moved to sunny Florida, but I have to thank Karen W. for this recipe since it’s a real keeper.  It’s a great side for ham, pork or chicken, and of course, turkey.  But it’s so rich and filling, I often eat it alone as a main dish.


The casserole dish is from Pillivuyt and it’s their “Eden” line.  It’s a 2 quart round gratin.  Pillivuyt is made in France and this is guaranteed not to craze EVER.  Their glazes are diamond-hard and this ceramic ware is durable.  Of course it’s pricey, but well worth it.  Revol is another French manufacturer of the same quality.  I purchased the Pillivuyt dish from Amazon.

    I have been making this dish for 25+ years, it's FANTASTIC. Make sure to prepare twice as much as you think you need, and watch it disappear!!!

    My Mom made a casserole similar to this, but it used Cheez Whiz. Could I substitute without changing the texture too much??

      They’re pretty similar so I’d say it’s OK. Sauce may be a bit thinner though.
