Broccoli and Cauliflower Casserole
Broccoli and Cauliflower Casserole
The first installment of the Holiday “Recipe Reduction” series! This casserole dish cuts calories by using reduced fat mayo, cream of mushroom, and 2% cheeses. Oh…AND it doesn’t have any rice! The alternative option to a traditional broccoli and rice casserole. I made this along side a baked chicken breast and there were no leftovers! (Which actually makes me sad. I love leftovers.) Ahem, anyway…back to the recipe!

Is this something we could make more that just on the holidays and it would be ok? Just checking thinking it would be a good change to my plain jane vegies.
Absolutely!
So good! I had my doubts about fat free soup. I kept thinking this casserole was way to good and felt like I was cheating. I used all broccoli.
