This Easy Broccoli Casserole is a healthier twist on one of my favorite holiday recipes. I always look forward to a broccoli casserole that my Stepmom makes for our Christmas dinner. It is stuffed with loads of yellow melted cheese and covered in butter crackers and more cheese. As much as I enjoy that rich casserole at Christmas, the recipe I have today is a lightened-up version. It is perfect for a weeknight dinner.
The cheeses used in this recipe have strong flavors, meaning you can use less and still get tons of flavor. While you wait for the water to come to a boil, get all your cheeses shredded and the rest of the ingredients in the mixing bowl. Then you are ready when the broccoli is done.
