So I had some leftover chopped veggies from my chicken & pasta dish last night and wanted to use them up before they went bad. Sunday mornings are usually my casserole mornings and it was getting close to brunch time so I made a few revisions to one of my other breakfast casseroles and snuck in the leftover veggies. I have to say it was a hit and I barely had any left to take pics with! :-)

Absolutely delicious !

This is my take on a cheesy broccoli casserole, perfect for a holiday meal side dish. It has no condensed cream soups and no velveeta, so I feel better about making it for my family. I use fresh broccoli florets when I make this, but I'm sure frozen could be used too. Or you could also make this with cauliflower. For the topping, you could substitute crushed up Ritz crackers or just panko breadcrumbs instead of the French onions, if you'd like.

I really wanted to make a casserole but couldnt find one that had exactly what I wanted. So, I made my own. Enjoy!

My version of this classic side dish.

My family ( hubby & kids ) do not like vegetables. This was one way to get them to try some. They all love it and beg for me to make some.

While at work one day a traveling produce man came in with a large amount of squash. Not being very familiar with cooking squash personally, I was challenged to make a dish using it. The result of said challenge being this recipe. It's become a fast fan favorite in my house. I hope you enjoy it too!

Could top with French fried onions, melted butter covered corn flakes, or panko mixed with melted butter.
