"Years ago, when I was flipping through a magazine, a cheesy recipe caught my eye. It was simple, quick, and cheap - the busy mom's culinary trifecta. Plus, the glossy picture featured a vegetable both kids would eat: broccoli. I remember tearing the page out and thinking it might save me on a hectic weeknight, when late afternoons were a scramble between homework, carpools, and hours on a baseball field."
"Most every cookbook on my shelf at the time had long, confusing ingredient lists. This one, however, had no chopping, sauteeing or complicated steps-just four ingredients mixed together. Depending on whether you buy store-brand or name-brand labels, the total cost of ingredients ranges from $5 to $10, with the most expensive ingredient being the Cheese Whiz. It takes about 10 minutes to assemble and can be made a day or more in advance."
A simple broccoli-cheese casserole uses frozen broccoli, condensed cream of mushroom soup, Cheez Whiz, and Stove Top stuffing mix. The recipe requires no chopping, sautéing, or complicated steps and assembles in about ten minutes. Total ingredient cost ranges from $5 to $10 depending on brand choices, with Cheez Whiz as the priciest item. The casserole can be prepared a day or more in advance, is budget-friendly and adaptable, and tends to be the first dish to disappear at gatherings. About five tablespoons of melted butter can be mixed with the stuffing for topping.
