This is another great recipe from my stash of vintage recipe books that were gifted to me. From a General Mills recipe card, this broccoli side dish is made with Bisquick baking mix. It goes wonderful with dinner recipes like turkey meatballs or fried pork chops.

The best thing about this recipe is that you can change up the vegetables or meat to make it a full meal.

Ingredients

This baked vegetable casserole has-

  • Frozen steamable broccoli. You can use fresh, steamed broccoli but I really think that using the frozen steamable bags saves time and me from having to clean additional dishes.
  • Bisquick baking mix. This baking mix is so versatile and can be used in everything from this savory dish to desserts and biscuits.
  • Wet ingredients like eggs and whole milk. Helps bind everything together.
  • Salt and pepper.
  • Shredded cheese, I use Colby Jack. Cheese just makes everything better.

How to make broccoli puff step-by-step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Steam the broccoli according to the package directions.

In a bowl mix together the Bisquick baking mix, milk, eggs, salt, pepper, and cheddar cheese.

Add the steamed broccoli to the batter.

Grease a casserole dish. Place the batter into the dish.

Bake for 45 minutes or until a knife comes out clean when poked into the center.

Tips & Variations

  • This is a great side dish for holidays. For example, for Easter serve this side dish alongside this Baked Ham with Brown Sugar Glaze from Dinner then Dessert.
  • Swap out the broccoli for mixed vegetables like Winter vegetable medley (broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots)
  • Add cooked ham or turkey sausage to make this a complete meal

Storage

Add the casserole to a covered container and refrigerate. Eat within 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven in an oven-proof baking dish.

Freezing is not recommended for this dish. Shelf-stable ingredients like Bisquick or Jiffy biscuit mix are good for up to 1 year. Frozen steamable broccoli lasts in the freezer for 3-6 months. This is a great recipe to purchase these two ingredients when on sale and keep on hand for when you want to make this dish.

More kid-friendly side dishes

  • Cheesy Cauliflower
  • Avery’s Potato Salad
  • Air Fryer Diced Potatoes {with Nacho Cheese Sauce}
  • Mac and Cheese for a Crowd

          This calls for 1 cup of whole milk, but you could use skim for it as well.

          I would not make this prior to the day of cooking. It is very simple to make, and shouldn’t take any time to whip of the day of.

    It is not vegan. Unless I misunderstood?

      No, because it uses dairy products & eggs it would not be a vegan dish.

    Can I use Vanilla Almond Milk? I want to make this for my neighbor who’s husband just passed.

      First off, I am so sorry to hear of your neighbor’s husband’s passing.

      For the recipe, you can substitute the milk in this with non-dairy milk. The only caution would be using Vanilla almond milk will add that flavor to this dish, even if it’s just slightly. The good news is you can always substitute the milk with water in most Bisquick recipes.

      Yes, just set it on low and try to cook for at least 6 hours. Check to make sure that the center had cooked before serving.

    I’ve made this several times. Great as is, but found cheddar, spinach, and bacon to be my favorite variation. Thanks!
