The creamy potato and broccoli casserole is very easy to prepare and saves you from having to wash up forever afterwards. Because the vegetables are put into the oven without being pre-cooked.
When it's cold and uncomfortable outside in the dark winter months, many people crave warming and filling dishes. Pasta and potatoes are a particularly versatile and easy-to-prepare basis. The vegetables can be used in a very easy potato stew with sausages, as baked vegetables, or in a classic gratin or casserole.
Warming dishes from the oven: casseroles, gratins, etc.
In addition to soups and stews, gratins and casseroles are also among the preferred fillers in the cold seasons. Because the warming dish with a crispy cheese crust is always well received in various variations. Various types of vegetables can be combined with pasta, rice or legumes in a large casserole dish, depending on your taste.

Meat and fish are also included in the list of ingredients for numerous recipes such as the hearty spaghetti meatball casserole. With a well-seasoned tomato or cream sauce and lots of gently melting grated cheese, everything can then be baked in the oven until golden brown.

You can prepare the classic potato and broccoli casserole so easily and quickly
While the oven preheats to 180 degrees (alternatively 200 degrees top and bottom heat), the potatoes are washed, peeled and diced into small pieces (around 2 x 2 cm). The broccoli head is also thoroughly cleaned and chopped into larger florets. Then peel and dice the garlic too.
Now grease the baking dish with a little olive oil and then put the potatoes, broccoli and garlic in it.
In the next step, mix the cream with the vegetable broth, the sour cream and the spices in a mixing bowl. Pour the cream mixture evenly over the vegetables and sprinkle everything generously with cheese. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for about 45 to 50 minutes until golden. Bon appetit!
Something fresh always tastes particularly good with a cheesy gratin or casserole. A classic cucumber salad based on Grandma's recipe can be ideally combined with the full-flavored potato and broccoli casserole.
If you prefer to eat pasta instead of potatoes, you should try the creamy broccoli noodles.
