Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup chopped mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups frozen broccoli florets

  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 ½ cups shredded cheese, use your favorite cheese

Notes

  • You can use fresh broccoli if you prefer.
  • This casserole is also great with chicken.
  • Try adding cooked bacon, diced bell peppers, or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • To make ahead, assemble the casserole as directed, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, remove the plastic wrap and proceed with the recipe as usual.
  • The casserole is done when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are starting to brown.
