Broccoli and Potato Casserole
So hearty, comforting and cheesy! Makes for a perfect easy side dish or even a quick weeknight entree with added chicken!
I honestly wasn’t really sure how this casserole would turn out.
I was nervous, if anything. But Jason looked at me and said, “Uh, dude, you have mashed potatoes, cheese and broccoli. What could you possibly be worried about?“
And you know what? He was completely right.
With those 3 key ingredients, this casserole will easily be a family favorite in seconds, perfect as a side dish for the holidays and big family get-togethers, or even a quick weeknight meal with chicken.
This is also a great way to repurpose the leftover mashed potatoes from Thanksgiving – you know, if you even have any left over of course!

I loved this so much! And it was very convenient to use all my leftovers hahahah thank you Chungah!
YAAAS! This looks SO good- love the creaminess and those crunchy corn flakes on top! Can’t wait to try it!
It is super easy and delicious!
I wonder what could substitute all the cheese on this recipe, if you are a vegan and really have no privilege to buy vegan cheese in your country.
Thank you!
Unfortunately, without further recipe testing, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment.
I was grumpy before I ate.
Then I ate this. And I was slightly more happy again. Comfort food. Loved it.
Thank you.
Easy peasy recipe ! I did it with what I had in my fridge, so I didn’t pick the same cheeses, but it was a great way to finish off a big mashed potatoes dish I did the day before. Thank you !
In New Zealand we do not get Ranch seasoning, only made up Ranch dressing. Any suggestions what I could use in place of this. Not really knowing what it is makes it a little hard to improvise. Many thanks
Jane, there are many easy DIY Ranch Seasoning recipes available online that can be used instead.
Hope you had a great thanksgiving! Yumm!! This looks so good. I love the combination of mashed potatoes and broccoli!!
This sounds like just the dish to have for a hearty, comforting meal, and what a bonus, to be able to use leftovers! And who wouldn’t like potatoes and broccoli! A great, easy recipe to have. Thanks for sharing.
