FAQs
Q: Can I use fresh broccoli instead of frozen? A: Absolutely! Just steam or lightly cook fresh broccoli before adding it to the casserole. It helps keep the broccoli tender-crisp in the final dish.
Q: Can I make this dish ahead of time? A: Yes, you can assemble the casserole up to a day in advance. Cover and store it in the refrigerator, then bake when you’re ready. You may need to add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
Q: What other cheeses work well in this casserole? A: You can use any melting cheese like mozzarella, Gouda, or Monterey Jack. For a stronger flavor, try adding some sharp cheddar or Gruyere.
Q: How do I make it healthier? A: Use low-fat milk, reduced-fat cheese, and light sour cream. You can also swap the cream of mushroom soup for a homemade mushroom sauce if you prefer fewer preservatives.
