    Why You'll Love Gruyere Broccoli Casserole

    bags of birds eye frozen vegetables

    I've always thought of casseroles as the cooking equivalent to a magic trick. You take a variety of ingredients, put them all together in a casserole dish, pop it in the oven, and voila! Your ingredients are magically transformed into a creamy, dreamy and utterly delicious dish.

    And one of my favorite casserole tricks is using frozen veggies. No washing, chopping or prep work. Simply open up a bag and add them right in to the mix. I find this to be a truly life-saving meal prep solution. Especially on those hectic weeknights when I need to get dinner on the table now. 

    step by step instructions to make gruyere broccoli casserole

    Want to know my top two frozen veggie picks?  Birds Eye® Steamfresh Broccoli Florets and Birds Eye® Steamfresh Super Sweet Corn. 

    I have several bags Birds Eye® Steamfresh Broccoli Florets stashed in my freezer at all times from Walmart. Not only is it super convenient, it's a great source of Vitamin C and contains no artificial ingredients, flavors, or colors. Using Birds Eye® Steamfresh Broccoli Florets to dishes like this gruyere broccoli casserole is a great way for me to get my kids to eat their veggies, too.

    The other kid-approved vegetable in my house is corn. So when the local farmers' market is closed for the season, I turn to Birds Eye® Steamfresh Super Sweet Corn. With Birds Eye Steamfresh Selects, you can enjoy specially selected vegetables like super sweet corn, that have been picked at the peak of freshness. And I love that it cooks perfectly in the bag and is ready to serve in minutes. Almost like magic, you might say.
