Notes

  • Drain broccoli thoroughly to prevent a watery casserole.
  • Swap cream of mushroom for cream of chicken or broccoli if preferred.
  • Top with crushed crackers or breadcrumbs before baking for added texture.
  • Add shredded chicken or turkey to make it a main dish.
  • Can be fully assembled a day in advance and refrigerated before baking.
