Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease or spray an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Cook broccoli in microwave, just until crisp tender (about half of the time called for on the package). You don’t want to cook the broccoli until it’s soft because it will continue cooking when you bake the casserole. Place broccoli in colander to drain.
  • In a small saucepan over very low heat, stir together condensed soup, cheese, and lemon juice, just until cheese melts. Do not let the cheese get too warm, or it can separate resulting in a grainy texture.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, mayonnaise, and grated onion. Combine broccoli, soup mixture, and egg mixture. Transfer to prepared baking dish.
  • In a small bowl, stir together dry stuffing mix and melted butter. Sprinkle on top of the casserole.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and topping is golden brown.

Notes

Prep-Ahead: You can assemble this casserole in advance, through Step 5. Cover tightly and keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Bake according to instructions above. If baking from frozen, you will need to double the baking time to make sure that the casserole is completely heated through. Leave the frozen casserole covered for the first half of baking so that the top doesn't burn.
