Best Ever Broccoli Cheese Casserole Bake

Submitted by thepurpleturtle

"My sister got this recipe from one of her in-laws after falling in love with it a few years ago and it’s been our family favorite ever since! It’s so good with practically any meal, whether a mundane weeknight dinner or a more elaborate thanksgiving feast. Also, although it truly does taste the best with the cream of mushroom soup it can be made with any cream soup (I usually use broccoli cheese or 1 cream of chicken and 1 cream of celery because of picky hubby!). Oh, and I like to add a sprinkle of onion powder to the mix too! Edited to Add: I've been mixing 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese for the topping instead of just breadcrumbs. It's really good that way too!"

Oh my goodness! Yummy! I used cream of potato b/c that's what I had but I'm sure any cream soup would do just fine. I love this! Easy too.

This was easy to make and delicious. Tastes great reheated in the microwave later too. I definitely think the fresh broccoli opposed to frozen, makes all the difference.
