• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 20 minutes

If you are making this dish ahead of time, simply cook the broccoli in boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes, transfer to a baking dish, and add the cheese mixture. Let it cool completely before putting it in the fridge. Once ready to bake, stir everything together first before putting it in a preheated oven.

As for leftovers, store them in an airtight container. If the baking dish comes with a lid, just cover it and store it in the fridge. It should be good for up to 3 days.

This Broccoli Cheese Casserole is sooo delicious. I highly recommend that you make at least two batches! 🙂
