I got this recipe years ago from a Jane and Michael Stern cookbook that featured recipes from restaurants around the country. The original recipe was for a smaller casserole and I doubled the recipe. We have it at every holiday meal. Mama Lu's is a southern restaurant that is located in Florida I believe (not sure of the city). I like this recipe because it's not like every other broccoli casserole.

SERVES 12 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

9 slices day old white bread
1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
5 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
3 tablespoons sugar
salt and pepper

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
2
Butter a 9x13 glass Pyrex dish.
3
Tear the bread slices into bite size pieces and cover the bottom of the pan.
4
(You may need more or less slices to fit the pan depending on the size of your slices.) Layer the chopped broccoli on top of the bread slices.
5
In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the broccoli and bread, making sure all the bread pieces get a good soaking and that the cheese is distributed evenly.
6
Cover with tin foil and bake for 35-40 minutes or until casserole is golden brown and set.
7
Let rest 10 minutes and cut into squares and serve.

This was a huge hit at Thanksgiving last year & I plan to make it again this year...the only thing I'd cut back on is the sugar. I also added French's Cheddar Dry Onions & some crumbled bacon on top for color & a little extra zip!

This was quite easy to make and certainly different. I used fresh broccoli and it made a very rich dish. I personally found it a little too rich and too sweet, so if I try it again I'll leave out the sugar.

We loved this yooper!! I have lots of broccoli from our garden. I did leave out the sugar. Tasted great and it is different than any broccoli casserole I have ever tried. This went great with our baked orange roughy. Thanks so much :D

Oh, yooper, you've done it again!!! YUUUUUUMMMMYY!! I used fresh broccoli because I have a ton of it in the fridge (hey, can't pass up a good bargain/lol) Followed the recipe exactly, served with salad and breaded pork chops. DIVINE!! Thank you! ~Manda
