Need a veggie dish for dinner tomorrow. (see details)?

Question

I am having Christmas dinner tomorrow with family, and need to bring the veggie dish. I like green beans and also broccoli. Does anyone have a good recipe for either? NOT green bean cassarole.

Answer 1

Do broccoli gratin

Fresh broccoli
1c cream
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1/4c Parmesan cheese

pour cream over broccoli in a casserole dish
mix well
add mozzarella cheese
mix well again
sprinkle Parmesan on top for a "crust"
bake at about 400 degrees for 30mins till top is golden & cheese is melted.

Answer 2

Here's one that always gets rave reviews even from the broccoli haters:

2 pounds fresh broccoli, trimmed and cut up
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the casserole
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 (8-ounce) can sliced water chestnuts
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 pound cheese product, softened (Like Velveeta or CheezWhiz)
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup grated Cheddar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9 by 13-inch casserole.
Steam the broccoli until tender, about 10 minutes. In the meantime, melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat and saute the celery, mushrooms, and onion until softened, about 10 minutes; drain. Combine the broccoli and the cooked vegetables in a bowl.

Heat the soup and softened cheese product in a saucepan over low heat until the cheese melts. Pour it over the broccoli mixture. Add the garlic salt and pepper and combine.

Put it into the buttered casserole dish and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle the top with the grated Cheddar the last 5 minutes of baking


You can bake it and take it and add the cheese (as I'm assuming the oven will be on anyway, due to a holiday dinner, and all you need is 5 minutes to melt the cheese...........Enjoy the holiday!!!!

Answer 4

Broccoli casserole: 2 packages chopped broccoli
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1 cup each of onion and celery
1 cup of cheese-whiz
1 cup of cooked rice
You can cook your own rice or get some instant rice.

Grease or spray casserole dish. Cook broccoli for 5-10 minutes.
Saute onions and celery in a little butter until nearly soft. If you want a little crunch cook these less. mix all ingredients together and pour in your casserole dish.

Bake at 350 for about 45 min to 1 hr or until it is bubbling.
You can make this your own recipe by using mushroom soup or adding more or less of an ingredient.

Vegetable casserole: 1 can of small peas
1 can of asperagus
1 can of water chestnuts
1 small can of mushrooms
1 can of mushroom soup
8 oz of cheese--cheddar or other
croutons

Grease or spray your casserole dish. Layer the ingredients--peas, asperagus, mushrooms, water chestnuts, soup, cheese and last croutons.

Bake for about 45 min to 1 hr or until croutons are brown.

Hint: drain vegetables but not to much. The peas and asperagus are very nice together but you could use other veggies if you want.
