As I have mentioned before, I live with a family of meatatarians. (As with this ever popular Hamburger Casserole recipe.) They love fruits and some veggies, especially if they are grown from the garden, but broccoli is strictly forbidden. However, every once in a while, I make something with broccoli that gets a slight smile and nod.

If you plan ahead, you can make all sorts of recipes spur of the moment.
This that an oxymoron? What I mean is by cooking chicken and hamburger ahead of time and freeze it, you can make delicious food quickly without waiting for the meat to cook.
It cuts the cooking time in half, or more!
This casserole has all the yummy ingredients you would want such as chicken, broccoli, cheddar cheese, pasta shells, cream of chicken soup. I also add milk but if your family is allergic, I would add water instead.
*Note*
Please do not at almond milk to the recipe. Especially vanilla almond milk. It just doesn’t taste right. Trust me. ;-)
This easy cheesy broccoli chicken casserole bakes up in about 20 minutes, you can use fresh or frozen broccoli and there won’t be many leftovers. However, if there is, you can always enjoy it for lunch the next day. That is always a good thing.

The recipe never mentions adding the broccoli. And why is there a picture of chicken stock in the picture of the finished dish? There is no chicken stock in the ingredient list.

The broccoli is in the ingredient list, but was omitted from the instructions. Thanks for the heads up! It is fixed now. As far as the chicken stock, there isn’t any in the recipe. The wrong picture got pulled and that isn’t this recipe. I put the correct picture in. It might have been a recipe card error (or my own!).
