Ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 6 cups herb-flavored stuffing mix
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 10.5-ounce can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the herb-flavored stuffing mix, cooked onions and garlic, and the chicken or vegetable broth. Stir until the stuffing is evenly moistened.

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Layer the blanched broccoli evenly across the bottom of your prepared casserole dish.

Step 7

Pour the creamy soup mixture over the broccoli, spreading it out to cover evenly.

Step 8

Top the casserole with the stuffing mixture, spreading it out in an even layer.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the stuffing layer.

Step 10

Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.

Step 12

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Optional: Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for garnish before serving.
