Our 11 Best Broccoli Casserole Recipes to Make This Spring (2024)

Spring has its downsides—pollen, losing an hour of sleep—but the seasonal veggies and warmer weather make it all worth it. Perhaps the best of them is broccoli, which we're happy to roast, purée into a soup or serve up in a creamy, cozy casserole. These casseroles have earned four- and five-star ratings, so you know they're pretty tasty. Recipes like our Broccoli & Cauliflower Casserole and Loaded Broccoli Casserole are delicious ways to bring in spring.

It's easy to go wild over fresh spring broccoli at the grocery store or farmers market, and it’s the best time to stock up and freeze some for later. In fact, if you store it properly, you'll have it at the ready for 10 to 12 months. Freezing broccoli just requires some easy prep work: Cut it, blanch it, freeze it on a tray, pack it in airtight freezer-safe bags and put them in the freezer. If you want to make a soup or stir-fry, you can use the frozen broccoli straight from the bag. If you're going to make a casserole, thaw the broccoli first in the fridge to get rid of any excess water before using it.

Broccoli, Beef & Potato Hotdish

View Recipe

Our 11 Best Broccoli Casserole Recipes to Make This Spring (11)

This easy casserole, full of ground beef, roasted broccoli and topped with hash browns, was inspired by the classic Minnesota Tater Tot hotdish. Roasting the broccoli before adding it to the casserole gives the whole dish a much more complex and exciting flavor, but it's by no means necessary. If you want to keep it simple, skip roasting the broccoli (Step 2) and use 6 cups frozen broccoli, thawed, in its place (omit 1 tablespoon oil, as well).
