This broccoli swiss cheese casserole side dish is not only easy to prepare, but so delicious, they’ll come back for seconds.

This recipe came my way via Facebook friend Ginny W.  We belong to a small recipe group and Ginny was raving about the couple of recipes she’d made from a new cookbook she just bought (a Gooseberry book called “Big Book of Country Baking” available at Amazon – Gooseberry Patch Big Book of Country Baking: Over 400 sweet & savory recipes for every meal of the day)

They’ll come back for seconds

Anyway, she had pics of hers and said about how easy and delicious this was.  It looked positively yummy.  And since I always have broccoli, because I love the stuff, and soup bases and CHEESE, I just had to make this since I wanted another broccoli-cheese casserole in addition to my Buttery Broccoli Cheese casserole

The original recipe calls for 1 cup of shredded swiss cheese, but I always go overboard and added double the amount. However, if you’re not as into cheese as me, then use the lower amount.  It will still flavor the casserole nicely.

Full of cheese

I made up the amount of chopped broccoli (because I only had one brick pack of it) with a whole bag of broccoli florets (16 oz bag) that I roughly hand chopped.  So if you don’t want to go the chopped route, using small florets would be a good substitute.

This was also the maiden voyage of the baking dish I used. Fans of mine know that I’m a devotee of a couple of brands of bakeware–some high-end, and some very affordable.

Temp-Tations Floral Lace in Light Blue

This is Temp-Tations Floral Lace in light blue.  It was also my first set in this color–my “Temp-Tationista” friends know I’m pretty much a dark cobalt gal LOL, but I just loved this shade and wanted to add it to my collection.  I wasn’t sorry–it’s stunning! You can see the Floral Lace line (and many others) at  Temp-tations.com
