Zesty Broccoli And Cheese Casserole Fit For A King

That is the best way to spend an evening in my opinion. Anyways, this year I found this simple casserole dish that truly made me enjoy my evening thanks to the ease of prepping and cooking it.

It has a delicious sauce over it that gives great flavor to the veggies and also makes for a great dipping sauce for bread. It is comforting, filling and the whole family is going to love it! At least everyone in my family does, and that is saying something because they are the pickiest food people ever!

This dish is full of flavor but barely requires preparation time or much work. It has a lot of saucy goodness that will make your fingers a mess, but who cares cause this is finger-licking good!! The amount of work it takes is the best because you can even prepare it a day in advance and have it ready just to pop in the oven when you get home. Or, consider freezing it uncooked as a freezer meal that is ready to go at any time! This dish was made in no time with easy ingredients that I always have in the oven. It is simple to make, straightforward and totally foolproof.

Check out what our friends over at The Southern Lady Cooks has to say about this:

“This Ham, Potato and Broccoli Casserole is a meal by itself.  All you need is to add some of my cornbread muffins.  This is a great recipe for using up leftover ham and is great comfort food, too.”

I do agree with this! I love that this is a great recipe for using leftover ham.  Also, yes, some biscuits or cornbread are perfect with this!

Ingredients:

6 or 7 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced or cut in bite-sized chunks
2 cups chopped ham, cooked
2 cups chopped broccoli, fresh or frozen
1/3 cup chopped green onions, could use regular onions
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can Campbell’s cream of broccoli soup, undiluted
1/2 cup Daisy sour cream
1/4 cup Hellman’s mayonnaise
1 teaspoon dried chives
1 tablespoon grated Kraft Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt, Optional
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
4 tablespoons Land O’ Lakes butter or margarine, melted or 1/4 cup
1 cup Kraft shredded cheddar cheese or cheese or your choice

Instructions:

Combine potatoes, ham, broccoli, onions in a sprayed 3-quart casserole dish.  In a bowl mix together soup, sour cream, mayonnaise, chives, Parmesan cheese, pepper, salt, garlic power, and melted butter.  Stir with a spoon to mix well. Pour over potatoes, ham broccoli and onions and mix.  Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 400-degree oven for 45 minutes to an hour until potatoes are cooked when you stick a fork in them.  Remove and sprinkle the cup of shredded cheese over top. Leave off foil and bake another 10 minutes uncovered.  Makes about 10 servings. Enjoy!
