Broccoli Au Gratin

Teresa Ambra

I loved this super easy Broccoli Au Gratin recipe. And I mean, super E-A-S-Y. It uses only four ingredients making it a terrific side dish for the holidays. It also tastes wonderfully. Broccoli florets, cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese and Ritz crackers make up this tasty side dish.

Back in late September neighbors across the street had a third child. I offered to bring them a meal. Kyle has been a regular driver for John to his Day Neuro rehab classes. They have been fantastic neighbors since they moved in a couple of years ago. I know what it’s like having babies and the last thing you want to do is cook!

So I poured over recipes and decided on a Tortellini Marinara, Broccoli Au Gratin, Cherry Texas Sheet Cake, Rapid Rise Italian Herb Bread and a family favorite: Corn Pudding. They had a lot of family over the day I brought the meal, but I’m sure there was enough for everyone.

Broccoli Au Gratin is really a fantastic side dish for any kind of entree. But if you’re looking for a quick recipe to take for holiday or company meals it doesn’t get any easier than this one. If you’re a broccoli fan, this is a great casserole to add to your repertoire. Enjoy.
