CAN YOU REHEAT PAULA DEEN BROCCOLI CASSEROLE?

Yes, you can reheat this broccoli casserole by Paula deen. I prefer to reheat broccoli casserole with cheddar cheese and crackers in the oven.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH PAULA DEEN BROCCOLI CASSEROLE?

You can serve this Paula deen broccoli casserole as a main dish, but it also tastes delicious with rice, baked chicken, roasted turkey, baked potatoes, or a fresh salad.

RECIPE TIPS;

1. We used sharp white cheddar cheese, but you can use the regular orange cheddar.
2. You can also prepare another topping: mix together ½ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese, 1 cup crackers, and 2 tbsp melted butter. If you don’t have crackers, you can use Panko breadcrumbs.
3. Fresh broccoli can be used instead of frozen broccoli.
4. You can use 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1 cup of sour cream, or 1 cup of cream cheese instead of ½ cup mayonnaise and ½ sour cream, or combine them to your taste. I really like the combinations of cream cheese and broccoli.
