Notes
Pro Tips: Steam broccoli until just tender-crisp to avoid mushiness. Shred your own cheese for the smoothest melt. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to set. For extra creaminess, add a splash of heavy cream or sour cream. This casserole freezes beautifully for up to 3 months. Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
