I added 1/4 cup of bacon bits 1 stalk of celery, chopped up very fine. No salt at all with Stove Top Stuffing, because they put way too much salt, in the box. Add 1/4 cup of milk, if you want to reduce the salt taste.....

A great cold night meal! Made exactly as directions indicate, except I substituted ground beef for the can of mushroom soup. Then, instead of the frozen broccoli, I used shredded iceberg lettuce and diced tomatoes. Finally, the garlic, salt and pepper were swapped out in favor of taco seasoning and the stuffing mix was 86'd and corn tortillas were used. Pretty yummy. I'd make this again without hesitation.

made this recipe last night May 28 2013, added precooked chicken to the recipe. Family loved the dish, however it was to salty so next time I would omit the sodium in recipe and yes I do believe that adding a little milk or water to the soup/mayo mix would allow the stuffing to be moister.

To make this a little less salt and fat intensive, I used a "healthy recipe" low sodium, low fat soup, light mayo, 2% cheese and left out the butter altogether. I also whisked a little skim milk into the soup mayo mix to make it more pourable. It came out pretty tasty.

Great question! To substitute fresh broccoli, use equal amounts. For one 10-ounce package of chopped broccoli, use 10-ounces of fresh broccoli. Yes, you would cook it and chop it before adding it to the remaining ingredients. Thank you and enjoy!

For many years I have made a broccoli casserole. Originally it said to cook the broccoli first. So I did. Then I decided to just add the uncooked broccoli to the recipe, and it turned out perfect. None of it remained crunchy. Looked like it had been previously cooked. It pays to experiment. The first time I make a recipe, I make it like it says. Then, after that, I will know if I need to tweak it in different ways. Enjoy your broccoli casserole.

This sounded so good, however it was not. My husband who will anything put in front of him said it was not the best. In step 3 it said to "pour" half the soup mixtrue over the stuffing. That mixture was like glue. There was no way you could pour it so I put several spoonfulls over the stuffing and tried to spread it..no luck. I thought I missed a step of adding liquid to it . So then I thought the soup would become more liquidie and mix thru the broccoli..nope. The bottom line, I had to throw it out! I've tried many of your recipes but this was not a keeper.

The only thing you did wrong was follow the recipe. Take your pick, the excess salt could have come from the canned soup, the boxed stuffing, the butter if you use salted, or the 1/2 tsp. of added salt! Call me crazy but I just don't believe the Amish use canned soup, frozen broccoli, and boxed stuffing. There are a lot of interesting recipes on this site, but one must remember, they are all about fast, cheap and easy here. Not health.

Unlike JVP, I'll give you a polite response. Since you don't like mayo, you can substitute greek yogurt for the mayo (although I'm not a fan of mayo either but I don't mind it in recipes). You can also google for a cream soup substitute that you can make yourself. It's made with ingredients that most people already have on hand. By making it from scratch you can control the ingredients that go into the recipe.

Yes Kay Marie, this about as Amish as my - - -, but it be pretty damned good anyway ! Use as much low-sodium products as you can, when you can, as almost all processed foods contain waaaay too much. And as has been said m-a-n-y times before .... "ANY" recipes nutritional values will vary according to what 'exact' ingredients are used. It would do you no good to have them written in any recipe IF the brand or size of the ingredient were changed , as they differ in calorie content, sodium, etc.. brand to brand. If you must know exactly ..... take your food calculator with you when you shop.
