mmmm that sounds wonderful, Aria! And I have a bunch of fresh broccoli and everything else, except for the cottage cheese, so I'll pick some up and make it this week - thanks!

I use a recipe that calls for 1 pkg of chopped broccoli (I don't cook mine) 2 cups of cooked rice, 1 can cream of chicken soup, 1 8 oz package of shredded cheese (I use sharp cheddar). Mix all together, except a small bit of cheese to put on top. Bake for about 35 minutes at 350. I don't use any other liquid - the uncooked broccoli releases some and cooks up tender but still a bit crisp.

We did this a few days ago, I just winged it and came out delicious... it was based with broccoli and potatoes, but I am sure it will work with precooked rice, too...

1. Steam the broccoli (fresh, chopped, major stem removed) al dente. (they should be still bright green, not brown or grey)

2, Peel and slice the potatoes and boil them for 5 min. circa

3. chop up some Prague ham (or smoked, or honey cured etc... the good ones)

4. cut up some mixture of cheeses in small cubes, in my case fontina, maasdamer and gorgonzola (other suggestions = gouda, emmenthal, taleggio, bel paese, edam, jarlsberg, havarti etc.)

5. toss all these ingredients together while vegs are warm, and put them in a baking dish. Pour bechamele sauce with a dash of nutmeg and white pepper, mix.

6. Top with a mixture of grated parmigiano or grana padano and bread crumbs, broil in the oven until the topping turns golden.

I think that's the standard for a rice one, Texas. Mine's only slightly different.

Aunt Dorothy's Broccoli Casserole

2 Cups Minute Rice(uncooked)
1 Can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 Pound Velveeta Cheese
2 Package Frozen chopped broccoli

4 oz. velveeta cheese, melted
1 can cream of celery soup

Had this casserole tonight, Aria. It was a nice, gentle flavor. A great accompaniment to my Chicken Marsala.

Thanks for posting!

Does anyone have a recipe for a broccoli casserole made with fresh broccoli and without any canned soups or processed cheese? I would love to try that.

 

[StirBlue]

Does it have to be a casserole? I steam fresh broccoli and serve with sauce. I have made lemon dressing for broccoli; it was interesting and tasted okay. I know that I have made dill sauce for broccoli before but it has been some time ago. I could just eat fresh steamed broccoli by itself all day long.
When I make chicken soup with clear broth, I add a few veggies at the end like broccoli and cauflower. Neither one should be cooked for long periods of time.

Here's one I've been meaning to try:

Fresh Broccoli Bake

You can also add chopped ham with the broccoli for a main dish.

Ingredients:
1 3 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1 1/2 C milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt, or to taste (I use less)
1/4 tsp. nutmeg (freshly grated is best)
1 Tbsp. chopped parsley
3 C chopped, cooked broccoli (barely tender)

Directions:
Blend the cream cheese and milk; add beaten eggs and lemon juice. Mix in salt, nutmeg and parsley. Mix well. Add chopped broccoli.

Pour into prepared loaf pan.

Bake about 1 hour at 325°.

"Does it have to be a casserole"? Hah, well, yeah, StirBlue, because this is a casserole thread. Sure, I steam broccoli all the time and love it. But every once in a while, I feel like something a little more substantial, and I'm not a fan of canned soups and processed cheese -- anymore. Wow, a few decades ago, I used to make a killer (literally!) casserole with frozen broccoli, cream soup, cheese, and mayo, and maybe even a few eggs. Yikes!

Definitely sounds worth a try, Constance. Thanks!
