This Easy Broccoli Casserole recipe is easy to make and always a crowd pleaser!
This is my family’s favorite Easy Broccoli Casserole recipe. I know many families have their own broccoli cheese casserole recipe. It’s easy to make and my mom has been making it for years. It’s definitely one of our best Thanksgiving recipes ever. (It can even be made in the microwave) This will definitely become a favorite vegetable dish of your family and friends as is easy and the ingredients are easy to find.
My mother makes this incredible Velveeta broccoli casserole (not for someone on a low calorie diet, you don’t even want to see the daily values or nutrition information!!) This large pot of goodness gets devoured every time she makes it. It’s the perfect comfort food. Who doesn’t love Velveeta or any Velveeta casserole??
I love that it’s simple to make. The instructions are so simple, it can even be assembled ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you’re ready to bake it.
The best part about it is delicious. This easy broccoli casserole recipe starts with frozen broccoli (I prefer the small florets). Pour the broccoli in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper then you add your Velveeta cheese sauce and butter. Top it with Ritz crackers. Ham and cheddar cheese would also be nice additions. It sounds so simple but tastes so good! The broccoli cheese mixture really works, you could even try fresh broccoli instead of the frozen broccoli florets. Stand back and be ready for compliments! They will be coming.
Take my advice…make a double batch! There are never any leftovers!
Tips for Making this Easy Turkey Stuffing Recipe
- Use a pizza cutter
to easily cut the bread. - Cut up the bread at least one day before you make the stuffing and lay it out in a single layer (uncovered) on rimmed baking sheets. This will help the bread get nice and stale – which is what you want.
- If you don’t have time to let the bread sit out, you could always toast it in the oven. I explain how in the recipe.
- You can saute the veggies a day or two before you make the stuffing. When you’re ready to put it all together, simply reheat the veggies and add them to the stale bread.

That looks yummy! I make a chicken, broccoli and cheese casserole but I’ve never just tried it with the broccoli and cheese. Sounds scrumptious!
I’m glad you linked up today! However, I did not see a link back to my blog with a mention of the MYHSM meme.
I’d appreciate it if you could do that if you participate again in the future! It’s just a courtesy link and also so that your readers can see how the other people who linked to the meme are making their homes sing this week!
There is a link to the instructions on my meme post if you missed them. Thank you and have a great day!
Thanks, Moms The Word. I did add a link to your site on my blog roll. It should be there. Let me know if you’d rather something else.
Thanks for stopping by!

This looks delicious! No problem getting kids to eat their veggies when it is covered in cheese and crackers. La
How can you go wrong with Velveta? Love this!
Thanks so much for the link! Please be sure to link back to Saturday Swap in your post. Have a super weekend!!!
I like the way you presented it! Looks really yum! Happy Weekend!
wow. looks delicious. thanks for the recipe, saving it and i wish i could try it! happy weekend! 🙂
YUM!! Comfort food at it’s best – CHEESE and broccoli – this sounds fantastic. Thanks for sharing with Friday Potluck!
This would make a wonderful side dish for Thanksgiving. I don’t think anyone could pass up something cheesy.
I agree, Lisa! And, it’s an easy way to get small children to eat broccoli!
Thanks for stopping by!
I love recipes that are easy yet super delicious! My grandmother made something almost identical to this and it’s been years since I’ve had it. I’ll definitely make this soon.
This looks fabulous! I always have trouble finding Velveeta in the grocery store. I can only ever seem to find the Velveeta slices, not the block of Velveeta.
Christina — I would use the slices if you can find those. Just make sure you have the right amount by weight. I don’t think the shape of the cheese matters since it melts.
My sister in law makes this every Thanksgiving and Christmas – mostly for me! It is a dish that always means holiday for me – you can keep your green bean salad – pass me the cheesy broccoli! Thanks for sharing this with us at the hearth and soul hop!
This is one of my favorites!
We love brocolli cheese soup, now we are going to have to try this. Thanks for sharing this on “Delicious Dishes”
i might be able to get my husband to eat broccoli if i served it this way! thank you for linking this simple yet scrumptious recipe to tuesday night supper club.
I’m always trying to find new side dish recipes, this one sounds like a keeper! Thanks!
This totally reminds me of something we would have eaten growing up! Do they still make Velveeta (well, apparently they do…loved it as a kid)!? I’ve saved this and will give it a try, bet the kids would gobble it right up!!! Thank you for sharing this with the hearth and soul hop this week!
Your recipe looks great. I will put it on my “to cook” list.
Thank you for sharing.
That was really simple ! I love anything that is this easy
