I made this but I used cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom and I chopped up a can of water chestnuts in mine for a little extra crunch! It was fabulous! Love your recipes!

My mom made a broccoli casserole recipe she found on the back of a box of broccoli spears. We didnt think and threw the box away and was never able to find the same recipe again until now. Paula's casserole tasted so close to that recipe! Definitely use mayo because you dont want the sweeter flavor of a salad dressing like Miracle Whip. I did use more cheese and a store brand buttery cracker for the topping. The little bit of tanginess works well with the broccoli and loved the crunchy texture of the topping. The leftovers are great the next day and I will be making it again soon! Made and reviewed for the What's On The Menu recipe tag game.

You can but may want to blanche the fresh broccoli to make sure it is not undercooked in casserole.

Is it possible to add rice to this recipe without messing up the tastes?

One of the best broccoli casseroles I ever tried had rice in it and I noticed this one doesn’t. If I can add rice, what type should I use?

I just made this, and it came out really well. Use your favorite rice, but I would cook it first. It doesn’t take very long to bake.

I add a cup of uncooked Minute rice.
