Easy Cheesy Broccoli Casserole is so easy to make. Frozen broccoli mixed with a creamy sauce topped crushed croutons, this recipe is a good alternative for a holiday dinner side dish. And, Easy Cheesy Broccoli Casserole is an easy potluck recipe for your next get-together with friends and family.

The cheesy sauce is made from combining cream of mushroom soup, cream cheese spread, mayonnaise, milk and shredded cheddar cheese. I use a mixer to combine these ingredients, which makes the sauce a creamy texture with almost no effort. No need to heat the sauce ahead of time, because baking this casserole in the oven will melt the cheese.

The broccoli is heated on the stove top in my recipe, but you could do it in a microwave oven. I do it on the stove top because I have a teeny, tiny microwave oven that I use primarily for reheating my coffee!

The croutons give Easy Cheesy Broccoli Casserole a nice, flavor-packed crunch. No need to add any other herbs and spices to this dish {grin}!

If you make this casserole ahead of time, leave off the croutons until ready to bake and refrigerate it until needed.
