A delightful and easy-to-make casserole combining cheesy broccoli and a savory herb topping.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated to achieve even cooking.
Prepare the herb stuffing mix according to the package instructions, using 3 tablespoons of butter.
Using less butter makes the topping lighter while still flavorful.
In a saucepan, heat the cream of mushroom soup and shredded cheddar cheese over low heat, stirring until smooth.
Stir constantly to prevent the cheese from sticking to the pan.
Combine the cheese mixture with the broccoli in a baking dish, mixing well.
Ensure the broccoli is evenly coated with the cheese mixture for consistent flavor.
Spread the prepared stuffing mix evenly over the top of the broccoli mixture.
Press the stuffing down gently to create a uniform layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
Check the casserole halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Serve the casserole warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
