Broccoli Swiss Casserole Recipe, Gooseberry #7

You’ll need:
(2) 10 oz. bags of frozen broccoli, thawed (I buy these on sale and have a big supply in our freezer)
1 cup mayonnaise (reduced fat works)
1 cup shredded swiss cheese
1 10 3/4 oz. can Cream of Mushroom soup (I used low sodium, 98% fat free version)
1 egg
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 TBSP butter, melted
Paprika, optional

Preheat oven to 350F. Whisk one egg in larger mixing bowl, add cream of mushroom and 1 cup of mayonnaise. Combine and stir.

Mayonnaise tends to be expensive in my one and only grocery store on the prairie so I buy what is on sale and keep several on hand in my pantry. The “Reduced Fat Black Pepper Mayonnaise” was the latest on sale version and that is what I used in this recipe. It added some zip with the black pepper in it and was very good.

Add chopped onion and 1 cup of shredded swiss cheese. Combine, adding the thawed broccoli and stir to combine all added ingredients.

Place in a 2 quart casserole. Lastly, add the 2 TBSP butter with 1/2 cup of bread crumbs and sprinkle over the broccoli mixture.

Sprinkle with paprika to over the casserole and place in oven for 25-30 minutes at 350F.

This is a side dish that is our family’s new favorite and something I’ll be making on a regular basis and as well on holidays. In a few weeks I’ll be giving away Gooseberry Patch Comfort Foods cookbook in partnership with The Real Farmwives of America and Friends and you can win a free copy of the cookbook.

What are you cooking up this long weekend? (Or are you boycotting cooking all together?)
