I'll be bringing my Broccoli/Cauliflower Casserole as a side dish for Thanksgiving dinner...
Here's the recipe:
Place 1 large package frozen broccoli & cauliflower cuts in a bowl (thawed or frozen), cover with plastic wrap and microwave until very tender (I usually cook mine about 12 minutes).
Mash with a potato masher to desired consistencey. Add 4 oz softened cream cheese, 3 tablespoons butter, dash of garlic powder. Mix. Add 1.5 cups shredded cheese (I use cheddar/jack mix). Fold into sprayed 9 x 13 casserole dish and top with 1/3 cup grated parmesean cheese.
Bake at 400 until brown, bubbly and you can't resist the wonderful smell anymore...
It's great with meats (turkey too!) and I like it even better reheated in the oven a day later. My guests like it too. Easy to double if you need more.
I'm also bringing a tray of shrimp, cheese and cold meats to pass around while we gather in the afternoon before the big feed.
Good luck and good health to us all this holiday season!
