Hi Lisa,
I’ve never frozen this so I’m not sure of the results, but if I was going to, I’d freeze it without the crumbs on top since they may get soggy. I’d use the evaporated milk too instead of the cream. If you do freeze it, please let me know the results you got because it would be very helpful to others. Happy Thanksgiving!

Can you freeze this and cook the day of Thanksgiving? At what point would you freeze?

Just thaw it and drain it. What I do is put it in a colander and run cold water over it to remove the frost. Speeds the defrosting process up too. Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you enjoy this.

Can you clarify about the frozen broccoli? It says defrosted and drained. So do I just thaw it and drain or actually cook them and drain? This might be a stupid question. Sorry.

That's the beauty of dishes like this–so many things can be added, or not, depending on your taste.

I cannot imagine the taste of this casserole without the onion. I would imagine it tasting flat. My original recipe also called for cheese whiz but I have used fresh cheese as well as Velveeta and my favorite is still the Velveeta. It's just the creamiest!

I put leftover chicken in this one, but you could leave that out too. You should check out my broccoli one with cheese sauce & Ritz crumbs. There's many like that floating around, but this is one my neighbor used to make and it's the best *ever*

It was SO good! I have to try this version just to see how it compares.
