Y’all today we are going to make I want y’all to look at this this is a four ingredient broccoli casserole is broccoli cheese mayo egg now I don’t count the seasoning like garlic salt pepper i don’t count that as ingredient i count that as a seasoning you talk about good cooked 30 minutes took five minutes 10.
Minutes at the most to put it together now let me tell you my broccoli is still al dente it’s delicious it’s low carb no cream soups delicious delicious so y’all stay tuned and we’re going to make this together ready for some healthy food and fun in.
The kitchen i’m telling you y’all i haven’t made a broccoli casserole in oh goodness months but we love broccoli now this is some broccoli that I put in the freezer it was fresh and when we uh started the cory’s uh about a month ago that’s our grandson that lives in Texas i put it in the freezer and I didn’t blanch it or anything because I knew.
That I was going to be using it pretty quickly so if you can see honey it’s in big uh I just put it in like spears like this but I don’t want it like that in my casserole so what I’m doing it’s still frozen i just took it out of the freezer i’m cutting these cutting the stem now I do put the stem some of the stem in my.
Casserole because it’s delicious it’s healthy and I’m not going to throw it away i like the chunk yeah we do we like it and so I’m just kind of cutting this uh in like I don’t know bite-sized pieces i’m going to And I as you can see I’ve got it in my microwave steamer right here i get this at from Pampered Chef uh I’ve got two sizes this is a.
Three quart and I’ve got a one quart well I’ve got a two quart too but anyway uh and I use these if I want to steam something this is what I use you can put it in a boiler on uh in a boiler with uh boiling water dip it down dip your broccoli down in it for like three or four minutes you don’t want to cook it till it’s well.
Done you just want to uh get some of that rawness out because it’s going to be in the oven like 30 minutes or so so all right i’m just You cannot see in here i don’t like it i like for you to be able to see what I’m doing so baby if you’ll come back over here i just want to show them what it looks like in the And you can see all the ice on the.
Broccoli now this looks like a lot of broccoli but by the time it gets steamed it’s not going to be it’s not going to be a lot of broccoli uh I’m hoping it’s about three cups cuz I’m not wanting to make a huge casserole just big enough for me and Roy and maybe Mike um that’s our son that lives next door so all right you can see about how I’ve.
Got it cut now I’m not going to put any water in this even if it wasn’t frozen I do not put water in my steamer because there’s enough uh moisture in the broccoli itself by the time you wash it there’s enough moisture in the broccoli itself to uh to steam it so you can do it in a bowl like this in your microwave you can do it in a saucepan.
And boiling water so now I didn’t put any salt no pepper no anything in there and I’m going to put it on four minutes it may take a little bit longer than that since it’s frozen but usually four minutes is as long as it takes with fresh broccoli okay now this is going to be a quick.
Simple easy recipe only like four or maybe five ingredients i don’t count salt pepper uh garlic i don’t count that as ingredients that’s just part of cooking to me seasoning that’s a seasoning thank you baby that is a seasoning i count eggs mayo cheese uh broccoli i count that as ingredients.
So if I say it’s got four or five ingredients I’m not talking about salt and pepper garlic garlic powder things like that okay all right you don’t count water either do you water no I don’t all right this is one egg it’s been in the refrigerator so it’s okay now I crack it in my little bowl.
Because it is a fresh egg and I always do that with fresh eggs because I want to make sure that uh that they’re good and that I don’t get a shell in them all right I’m going to beat this egg a little bit i want y’all to look how deep yellow.
Look at that this is the reason I love fresh eggs what I call yard eggs but fresh eggs they eat grass if they’re out in the yard and the and the grass causes the uh the yolk to be to be yellow yep darker okay all right so I just beat that a little bit now to that I am going to add I’m going to start off with a.
Half a teaspoon of salt and about a/4 of a teaspoon of black pepper and I’m going to put one teaspoon no I’m going to put this is a teaspoon and a half so I’m going to put teaspoon and a half of garlic my minced garlic okay now I may have to adjust that a.
Little bit but maybe not okay i’ll go ahead and get this off the table now I’m going to go ahead and put a half a cup uh no I’m going to do like a third of a cup this is a half a cup measuring cup so that’s.
About that’s about a fourth because it’s only half of it so we’re going to start out with that because this broccoli is going to uh shrink a lot so I’m not sure how many cups I’m going to have okay that egg made that yellow so really.
All that we’re going to put in here this is going to be low carb healthy so all we’re putting in here is broccoli mayo cheese egg and that’s going to be our casserole simple easy and very very delicious very good i saw a lady the other day it’s.
Called Mimi’s Recipes or something like that she made one similar to this but not just like this and uh so I said “Well you know what?” Cuz I’ve always a lot of times I’ll add onions to mine i’ll add this i’ll add that but not when I want just a plain simple broccoli casserole easy now this would be great great for Easter.
Because it has very few ingredients and is absolutely delicious okay now as y’all can see look how vibrant and green that is look at that all right i’m going to I want to measure this for y’all and I was going It’s got broccoli in it cuz I was going to.
Measure it before I cooked it then I said “No I’m going to measure it after I cook it.” Now this is This is perfect it’s cooked perfectly it cooked four minutes and I think this is going to be about four cups of cooked broccoli now four cups of steamed broccoli it would probably be five or.
Six cups if it was fresh but I always measure when I’m doing something like this i measure it after I cook it okay this is a four cup measure so that’s four cups exactly all right this is going to be perfect for me and Roy i’m going to add I’m going to have.
To add a little bit more one egg is all I’m going to add to it but I’m going to have to add a little bit more mayo so that I’ve already put 1/4 of a cup okay uh and I I’m going to have to put cuz we like ours creamy so in all it’s going to be a half a cup of.
Mayo all right so that was another four cup so all together that’s a half a cup of mayo now you can add other things to yours if you want to this is just what what I’m the way I’m making this one today okay now uh cheese i’ve got pepper jack cheese.
Here i’ve got sharp cheddar and I’ve a yellow and I’ve got sharp white cheddar so I’m just going to I love my little shredder here i’ll put the link to this in my description box but I love it it does such a good job every once in.
A while you have to reach in there and pull that uh pull that cheese out now I have my little thing in wrong okay and I’m going to measure this cheese for y’all all right now we’ll do our white so y’all can see how quick and easy this.
Is all right I’ll have to get another measuring cup so I can measure this cheese now this is not going to be a very big casserole so you can uh you can double it if you need to all right this is a one cup measuring cup and because it’s not a big casserole.
Now I’m putting some of all my cheeses in it that’s one cup uh I think I’ll do a half a cup okay so that’s 1 and 1/2 cup cups of cheese in it now some people put cream of chicken soup cream of celery soup cream of.
Mushroom i do not do that that just adds more carbs and more calories okay now I’ve got a casserole dish here and I had a four cup of butter in it i melted it in the microwave where did you get that nice blue casserole dish right my husband brought that back to me we always stop at a consignment shop we have one in town and sometimes about.
Once every couple of weeks we’ll just stop in to see what we can find and he found this one the other day he knows I love casserole dishes and so um he brought me this one i love it okay all right i’m going to put this in.
My Now if you want yours creamier and you’re not watching your carbs you can put uh sour cream in it you can put cream cheese you can put cream of mushroom cream of celery cream of chicken soup in it that’s just up to you now a lot of people crush Ritz crackers put butter on them and put it over it i do not because.
There again I’m trying to keep the carbs down so I just cover mine in cheese so this is about another uh cup and a half of cheese okay now this is a very healthy low carb broccoli casserole all right I’ve got my oven set on 350 i’m going to cook it for about 30.
