Notes
- The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 1 cup of casserole. Actual calories will vary.
- I've recently retested this recipe after feedback from readers regarding a couple of things:
- Pan size:
- using a 9x13-inch pan and measuring correctly this recipe gives you a thin layered casserole (it does double ok in a 9x13 but will be full).
- using a 9x9-inch pan works well for a thicker casserole that fills up the pan nicely. It's important to measure properly and not "eyeball" the ingredients.
- Broccoli (raw vs cooked):
- This is up to you. I've written the recipe to have it go in raw. It will soften some as it cooks. For a softer broccoli, blanch it for a couple of minutes ahead of time and drain well (this is discussed in detail in the tips section above the recipe).
