Recently, a friend gave us a big bag full of beautiful, fresh broccoli from his greenhouse. I really wanted to make a broccoli casserole, but the older I get, the more I dislike having to clean up after cooking, so I created this recipe and technique to microwave/steam, mix, bake and serve all in one dish! It was quick and easy, and turned out great! Delish!

Ingredients For one dish broccoli casserole

  • 4 c
    broccoli florets, cooked fork tender, drained (see *note)
  • 1/2 c
    sweet onion, diced small
  • 1 can
    cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
  • 1/3 c
    mayonnaise
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 4 tbsp butter (1/2 stick), melted
  • 2 lg eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 c shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 c
    crushed club crackers (see*note), crumbled

How To Make one dish broccoli casserole

  • 1
    Add 2-3 tablespoons water to an 8"x8" pyrex type baking dish.
  • 2
    Add broccoli, cover with wax paper, and microwave on high power for 5-6 minutes, until tender crisp; tilt dish to drain over a crumpled up paper towel on the counter.
  • 3
    Add onions to broccoli; stir to mix.
  • 4
    Push the broccoli and onions to the corner of the dish, as much as possible.
  • 5
    Empty can of mushroom soup into opposite corner, stirring the soup to smooth it some. Make a "well" in center of soup. (Set empty soup can to the side to use in beating eggs.)
  • 6
    To the well, add 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste,) and a couple of grinds of black pepper. Mix the soup and mayo mixture until well blended, avoiding the broccoli in the opposite corner.
  • 7
    Stir melted butter into soup mixture; make a well in middle of soup mixture.
  • 8
    Break eggs into empty soup can and beat with a fork; pour beaten eggs into well in soup mixture.
  • 9
    Stir to combine eggs with soup, then stir into broccoli; add 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese; combine well.
  • 10
    Smooth mixture, then top with remainder of cheese.
  • 11
    Sprinkle cracker crumbs over all.
  • 12
    Bake at 350 degrees F, uncovered, for 45 minutes.
  • Broccoli casserole with one serving removed.
