Every holiday meal needs a solid side dish to round it out, Grandma’s Cheesy Broccoli Souffle Casserole is just that dish. It’s quick & easy, full of good for you veggies served in tasty cheesy form. It’s perfect for the holidays, but also easy enough for every day dinner.

Grandma's Cheesy Broccoli Souffle Casserole

If you grew up in the South, you know there’s one thing treasured above all else. A precious item handed down, or passed down, from generation to generation.

Some might argue it’s more precious than fine jewels, money, even gold. Every generation one matriarch is entrusted with it’s keeping. And with bringing it’s sacred, secret contents to every family gathering.

Grandma's Cheesy Broccoli Souffle Casserole

If you haven’t guessed by now, I’m talking about the family recipe box/tin/book- whichever applies. 

Thankfully, ours was entrusted to my own Mom when my Grandmother unexpectedly passed. It was a huge blessing, and even a balm of sorts.

Every time we enjoy her favorite dishes, or dishes that only she had made, it still feels like she’s with us at the family table every holiday and celebration.

It’s both a way to honor her, and her legacy, and a way to continue to feel her presence in our lives.

Grandma's Cheesy Broccoli Souffle Casserole

Most of her recipes are relatively straightforward, easy to understand, transcribe, and recreate.

We’ve since discovered that these are either the recipes written in her own hand, or the family recipes from the Northern side of our family.

The recipes from her Mom’s side, and especially the recipes from her Georgian MIL? Well, they’re a little bit harder. More of a challenge you could say.

Why? Because instead of precise measurements, things are referred to as a dash of this, a heaping helping of that, and occasionally- a handful.

Sadly, that’s a language that wasn’t passed down, and has since been lost to us.

Luckily, with a bit of trial and error (and typically cutting out a whole lotta lard and sugar) we’ve been able to recreate almost everything that we’ve tried. So far.

One of our favorite dishes, fortunately, was a Grandma original and included precise measurements, and steps, so even us Millennials will never suffer through a Thanksgiving, Christmas, or even Easter dinner without a heaping helpin’ of Grandma’s Cheesy Broccoli Souffle Casserole.

Grandma's Cheesy Broccoli Souffle Casserole

A cheesy vegetable casserole of some sort is a holiday must-have to pair with your meaty entree of choice.

Whether you’re having a traditional ham, turkey, or even prime rib- Grandma’s Cheesy Broccoli Souffle Casserole is the perfect side dish to pair with it.

Chock full of yummy veggies, baked up with a yummy egg based souffle style filling, and topped with a cheesy, smoked paprika crust- it’s gonna be the stand out side dish to any meal you serve it at. It’s sure to become the next recipe filed away in your family vault.

      Everything can be put in the casserole dish, as instructed, covered and then baked the next day. I do not recommend baking and then storing it to serve the next day though.
