• 2 cups broccoli florets Fresh broccoli makes a big difference, but frozen works too. Just make sure to thaw it well!
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Cheese is the heart of this casserole, adding that irresistible creaminess.
• 1 cup cream of mushroom soup This adds a lovely depth of flavor.
• 1/2 cup milk This helps the casserole stay moist and creamy.
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped Whether you prefer yellow or white, onion adds a beautiful aroma.

• 1 tablespoon olive oil Adds richness to the breadcrumbs and keeps the top from getting too dry.
