Easy Bacon and Broccoli Casserole recipe. This creamy, cheesy dinner idea makes a great quick and simple weeknight meal.
The weather has finally started to cool down in Chicago, and all I want now is comfort food.
Give me all the soups, pastas, pizza… you name it. I’m eating it all.
And now I am hooked on this Bacon and Broccoli Casserole.
What do you need to make this Bacon and Broccoli Casserole?
Anything I make these days uses very few ingredients, and this recipe is no exception. All you need is:
- broccoli
- carrots
- cream cheese
- milk
- garlic powder
- cheese

That’s it!
I’m pretty sure that I’m going to be making casseroles almost daily from now until the end of the year.
When you mix in my super busy teaching schedule with the fact that I will have a baby in less than 2 months (!!!) I am all about the quick and easy recipes. So I know that I am going to be making this Bacon and Broccoli Casserole on repeat.
