Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups diced or shredded ham
- 3 cups fresh or frozen broccoli florets
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup whole milk or dairy-free alternative
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your baking dish and set it aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth. Stir in the sautéed onion.
- Add the diced ham and broccoli florets to the bowl and mix well, ensuring everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
- Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- If you’re adding breadcrumbs, sprinkle them over the cheese for a bit of crunch.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Blanch fresh broccoli for 2-3 minutes in boiling water before adding to the casserole for vibrant color and tender texture. Toast breadcrumbs briefly with melted butter for extra crunch.
