As the warm summer weather fades into fall, I find myself looking for new and different ways to serve my family their vegetables. Salads and raw, sliced tomatoes from the garden are not as readily available at this time of year, and the comfort of a warm, baked side dish is much more appealing.
One of my boys’ most-requested sides is a traditional Thanksgiving-style green bean casserole, like the one that you can find here. I just adapted that recipe to include one of our favorite vegetables and a buttery crumb topping. I love that I can prepare this Broccoli Casserole in advance and it makes everyone happy. Another great way to get some greens into your little ones’ bodies!
Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen petite broccoli florets
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2/3 cup French fried onions
- 1 cup crushed butter crackers about 1 sleeve of Ritz crackers
- 2 Tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Cook frozen broccoli florets in microwave until crisp-tender (I cooked mine for about 2 minutes, stirred, and then cooked for another 1 minute).
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together soup, milk, soy sauce, and fried onions.
- Add cooked broccoli and stir to combine.
- Pour mixture into 1 ½ quart baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine crushed crackers and melted butter. Sprinkle buttered crumbs on top of casserole.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for about 25-30 minutes, or until hot and bubbling.

Your casserole looks wonderful! I find myself making so many casseroles around this time of year, and I’m always looking for new recipes! This looks so delicious!

I absolutely ADORE casseroles and this one looks just delicious!
Hi Trish! Casseroles are definitely a favorite in our house as well, and this is a good one. Hey, whatever it takes to get the little ones to eat their veggies!
First of all I want to say excellent blog! I had
a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind
prior to writing. I’ve had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there.
I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted simply just trying to figure out how
to begin. Any ideas or tips? Appreciate it!
Can this broccoli casserole be made ahead and frozen?
Yes, ma’am! That should work fine! You might also like to try this one: https://www.theseasonedmom.com/easy-broccoli-casserole/ It’s a favorite!
