Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
I have been a fan of the Pacific Organic brand since I reviewed their products last month for my
Cranberry Sandwich Cookies recipe and promoted Carton Smart. Luckily, my local commissary on base carries a lot of their products including soups, broth, and purees. I purchased their Cream of Mushroom soup (a childhood favorite of mine!) a few weeks ago and was excited to try the recipe on the back for Broccoli Casserole. Ava loves pasta and cheese and broccoli (all the good stuff!) so I knew this would be a hit with my little girl, for sure! And casserole’s are a favorite of mine because they are easy to prepare and make lots of leftovers. Perfect for this busy Mama!

Cheesy Broccoli Casserole

Ingredients

  • 1 12 oz carton Pacific Foods Cream of Mushroom Condensed Soup
  • 2 heads of broccoli cleaned and trimmed
  • 1 large shallot diced
  • 2 cups cooked pasta I like Veggie Rotini
  • 5 tbsp butter divided
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 cups skim or low fat milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
  • 1 clove garlic pressed
  • salt/white pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Steam broccoli until tender and then chop into bite size pieces.
  • Heat a skillet over medium and add 2 tbsp butter (or sub olive oil).
  • Add shallots and garlic and cook until softened and browned. Remove from heat.
  • In a saucepan add remaining 3 tbsp butter and flour. Heat over medium and whisk until combined.
  • Slowly whisk in milk until combined then add cheese and salt and white pepper. Whisk until melted.
  • In a large bowl mix together broccoli, cooked pasta, shallots, soup, butter, and cheese sauce.
  • Pour mixture into a 8X8 baking dish.
  • Bake for approx 30 minutes until golden and set.
  • Try not to eat the whole pan! This casserole is addicting!

Recipe adapted from Pacific Foods.

I am hooked on this tasty Cream of Mushroom soup from Pacific Foods.
Ava and I are hooked on veggie pasta so for this recipe I used veggie
rotini. You can also use bowtie, penne, or macaroni pasta. Cook
according to package directions, drain, and set aside.
Dice a large shallot then saute with garlic in a skillet over medium with 2 tbsp butter
(or sub olive oil).

Steam broccoli until tender and then chop into bite size pieces.
Start the cheese sauce with a roux: butter and flour whisked together.
Slowly whisk in milk until blended and heated through.
Add shredded cheese and season with salt and white pepper.
Mix until melted and blended. Mix into a bowl with all other ingredients.
Pour into baking dish and bake for approx 30 minutes at 350 degrees until golden and set.
Hot out of the oven and ready to dig in!

There is nothing better on a cold night than a comforting, cheesy casserole. 
Ava and I ate this dish for days and never got tired of it! 
Happy Meatless Monday!

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear
