Ingredients – Broccoli Casserole Recipe

This is the real “best broccoli casserole recipe.” There is no sour cream, melted butter, or canned cream of mushroom soup. Enjoy!

1 large bunch of broccoli, chopped and steamed

2 cups grated Colby cheese (It is way better than sharp cheddar cheese!)

1 1/2 cups blue cheese dressing (Ken’s Steakhouse Brand or your favorite)

1  1/2  cups mayonnaise 

2 packages chicken flavored ramen noodles and seasoning, smashed into small pieces

2 eggs

How to prepare Broccoli Cheese Casserole

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly steam the broccoli florets. “Lightly” is key because they still have to cook in the oven, and no one likes mushy broccoli.

Using a 2-quart casserole dish, add all of the wet ingredients and 1 ½ cups cheese, then mix thoroughly.

Then add the smashed-up Ramen noodles and seasoning packs to your prepared baking dish/casserole dish.

Immediately after the broccoli is steamed, add it to the casserole dish, tossing thoroughly until your broccoli is fully mixed in.

Finish your dish by topping the whole thing with 1/2 to 3/4 cup remaining cheese and bake for 40-45 minutes.

Take a peek! Cut a small slit to make sure the ingredients are cooked through.
