There are so many wonderful recipes out there for broccoli. Putting broccoli on your Thanksgiving or any holiday table, adds a wonderful splash of color, along with plenty of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. Of course, when you bury broccoli in cheese, canned soup and other stuff, you diminish some of the health benefits. But it’s still a colorful delicious dish. And broccoli is high in potassium, vitamin C, and calcium even if you do bury it in bad stuff.

There are so many variations on a broccoli bake like this. But in Amish kitchens they all generally follow the same pattern: a few ingredients, bury it in cheese, bake, and serve.
This Amish Broccoli Bake makes a wonderful and easy and budget-friendly Thanksgiving side dish. It really does have super flavor. This is one of the easiest casseroles you'll make. This is essentially just a very simple broccoli casserole, you mix up in a large bowl, dump into a casserole dish and be done with it.
A lot of Amish cooks do grow their own broccoli. And while broccoli isn't the most conducive to home-canning, it freezers well. There are many Amish and Mennonites that do have gas-powered freezers and they'll load up on broccoli through the summer and it keeps very well through the winter. Note the easy ingredients; butter, Bisquick, cheese, and mushroom soup!
You just need a small or medium bowl to get to work on this. Not a complicated side dish at all, not expensive, so it's great taste at low cost.
It comes out of the oven rich and flavorful and colorful. And, yeah, you can easily double or triple this recipe to serve a larger gathering!
A few other thoughts about the recipe. True to Amish form, not much seasoning in this recipe. So feel free to add at least salt and pepper. You could also crumble up some bacon into it. Nuts, cranberries, sunflower seeds, and raisins are some thing that pair well with broccoli, but I'm not sure how good that would be in a baked dish like this. You could add other vegetables like cauliflower or carrots.
