Easy Broccoli Casserole

Easy Broccoli Casserole with either fresh broccoli or frozen broccoli is one of my mother’s recipes that is definitely a family favorite. So easy and comforting!

Broccoli has gotten an undeserved bum wrap! After all, it really does taste good. But for some reason, children do not gravitate toward it. I am not sure why either!

Broccoli has always been one of those “play” foods in our house. I mean, we have joked about broccoli and especially fresh steamed broccoli resembling trees or bushes. “Who can eat their trees first?” or “Who can make their trees stand up?

So, I am just not sure why broccoli is such an unpopular vegetable!

This Easy Broccoli Casserole Is A Family Favorite

Broccoli is a vegetable my mother served when I was young. In fact, this Easy Broccoli Casserole with Nuts is one of my mother’s recipes that was only served at Thanksgiving and Christmas times. We always looked forward to it.

Easy Broccoli Casserole was just one of those traditions that was not questioned.

So, I have tried to make the this Easy Broccoli Casserole recipe the same in my home – a tradition and it has definitely become a family favorite.

I try to reserve it for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner but often the children will ask for the recipe to be made as part of their birthday meal.

Oh, and another nice thing about the recipe, it can easily be doubled, tripled or even more for entertaining.
