Christmas Dinner Idea: Broccoli Cheese Casserole

Christmas is quickly approaching, and unfortunately I've fallen behind in my plans to share some dishes that have found a regular place on my family's holiday menu. But just like everything else involved in getting ready for Christmas, better late than never, right? So here goes.

One Christmas a couple decades ago my Aunt Rose Mary introduced us to this recipe. I don't know how often she's made it since, but there's rarely been a holiday dinner since on my side of the family that didn't include Broccoli Cheese Casserole. It's delicious, easy to make and even looks festive with its colors of red, green and gold.

Try it out at your holiday table, and you won't be disappointed. Even folks who are not big broccoli fans usually like it!

Ingredients20 oz. Frozen chopped broccoli

1 can cheddar cheese soup

1 can Italian recipe stewed tomatoes

2 eggs

2 cups Cheddar cheese – shredded, divided

Directions

Cook broccoli until tender and drain.

Beat eggs. Add to soup and tomatoes and mix together. Add broccoli and half of cheese, and mix together. Put mixture into a casserole dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle rest of cheese on top. Bake in a pre-heated 350-degree oven for 30 minutes.

By the way, you can use low fat cheese and soup to make this a little healthier. It tastes just as good.
