Paula Deen’s Broccoli Casserole

Paula Deen’s Broccoli Casserole is almost fail-proof. It’s very easy to make and is a great accompaniment to almost any main dish.

 

There are people that love broccoli and there are people that hate it. Not many are in between. I think most broccoli haters would switch sides if they could have this casserole just one time.

Paula can’t be wrong!!!

I’m a broccoli lover and thanks to Paula I now have another way to enjoy it. It’s very creamy and so good that you want to go back for more (and more!).

I really think this recipe is a prize.

How To Make Paula Deen’s Broccoli Casserole

This broccoli casserole is extremely easy to make with frozen broccoli. You can, of course, use fresh broccoli. It makes no difference in the recipe.

Once you have your ingredients assembled just mix them up in a mixing bowl and dump into the baking dish.

Top it off with the crushed crackers and the melted butter and bake for 35 minutes.

Sometimes I like to add a little cheddar cheese to the top!

Tips and Tidbits About Broccoli Casserole

This broccoli casserole comes together really quickly. However, if you’re really in a time crunch you can do some make-ahead.

All you need to do is make up the dish and place it in the casserole. Don’t add the crackers and melted butter. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to two days.

When you’re ready to bake just add the cracker crumbs and the melted butter and place in the preheated oven.

You might need to add an additional few minutes baking time because it will be cold coming out of the fridge.

Leftovers have never been a problem at my house because there’s usually not any. If you happen to have some, however, they should be good for a few days covered in the fridge.

I hope you will give Paula Deen’s Broccoli Casserole a try!

Easy Fried Rice

I fell in love with fried rice on my two year stint in Japan with the U.S. Air Force. Unfortunately I’ve never been able to make it at home very well. That is until I came across this very easy fried rice recipe. When I say “easy”, I mean EASY.

fried rice

The big secret is that you must use leftover rice!

The recipe lends itself to other leftovers too. That makes it family friendly in my book. Disguising leftovers to look like something else. Fried rice is perfect for that.

Serve Nice ‘N Easy Egg Rolls with it and you’ve got a complete oriental meal.

Pass extra soy sauce and be sure to have mustard sauce for the egg rolls!

Sour Cream ‘N Cheddar Potato Casserole

Potato Casserole

Be sure to Like Foodgasm Recipes on Facebook and Foodgasm on Pinterest for more great recipes.

This is a very good potato dish that is loaded with flavor. The taste of the sour cream and the cheddar cheese really comes through. The best part is, if there are any leftovers, they make a great breakfast side dish the morning after.

On top of being rich and flavorful this dish is very easy to put together. Just the kind of side dish I like.

Maybe this isn’t the healthiest dish in the world but comfort food seldom is. It’s perfect for cold rainy nights!

Sour Cream ‘N Cheddar Potato Casserole

Ingredients

10 cups shredded hash browns
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
1 (10 ounce) can cream of chicken soup (or cream of anything soup)
12 ounces sour cream
1/2 cup milk, I always use skim
1/2 cup chopped green onion
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
salt and pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Melt 1/4 cup butter or margarine and pour into a 9X13 inch baking dish, then add 5 cups of the shredded hash brown potatoes, no need to thaw.

In a separate bowl, mix soup (in a pinch, I’ve used cream of celery and cream of mushroom and it turned out fine), sour cream, milk, and green onions, then pour 1/2 of this mixture over the hash browns. Spread the mixture around over the hashbrowns evenly using a spatula. Salt and pepper to taste.

Sprinkle one cup grated cheese on top.

Add the remainder of the hash brown potatoes and pour the remaining soup mixture on top, again, spread out evenly using a spatula. Salt and pepper to taste.

Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

Bake for 55 minutes.

**If at the end of the 55 minutes baking time the top hasn’t browned to your liking, set the oven to broil and it will quickly brown the top of the cheese to a crispy golden brown.

When done, let set up for 5-10 minutes before cutting into servings.
