When I’m in a hurry or need to feed a crowd, I usually always turn to casseroles as the answer. They’re impossible to mess up and always fill you. This particular Cheesy Spinach & Broccoli Casserole is made for a smaller crowd. I’d say it would feed about 4-6 people depending on how big a portion everyone eats. But, as I mention in the directions, doubling the recipe would be perfect for a larger casserole dish. I bought a set of two Glass Pyrex Baking Dishes (2-Qt and 3-Qt) from Amazon and use them all the time. For this recipe I used the smaller 2-Qt dish.
This is a great breakfast casserole to whip up for your family on a lazy Saturday morning. But honestly, I always say breakfast food is good ANY time of day. Full of broccoli and spinach, you’ll get your fill of veggies in every bite. And it doesn’t hurt that it’s full of cheesy mozzarella goodness. For those of you who decide to try this recipe out, let me know your experiences in the comments below! Read on to see ingredients and directions for this Cheesy Spinach & Broccoli Casserole.
