Yes, I'm Southern. We love our casseroles. This one is a particular favorite in my house. Hopefully it will be in yours too!

Ingredients:

2 heads broccoli, diced, using flowers and stems or 2 bags frozen broccoli
1 can, cream of celery soup or cream of chicken soup
1 Tbsp of onion powder
1 large Tbsp of sour cream
1 cup sharp or extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup bread crumbles or toasted panko

Directions:
Fresh Broccoli: Chop broccoli stems finely. Cut flowers to a size that works for you; we usually cut them as small as we do the stems. Be sure to trim the rough end off and discard it before using the broccoli. Boil in a medium sauce pan for 30 minutes or until broccoli is tender.

Frozen Broccoli: Boil two bags of frozen broccoli according to package directions.

Preheat oven to 350°.
In a small mixing bowl, combine soup, sour cream, and onion powder. Add cheese to this and mix again.

In a 9x13 casserole, combine cooked broccoli with the soup and cheese mixture and mix. Sprinkle bread crumbs.

Cook at 350° for 20 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy!

The tradition around here for New Year's Day lunch is to have greens (for money in the new year) and black eyed peas (for luck). This is my greens recipe for my roommate and myself.

As a note, this is one of those recipes where I do a lot of the directing and I let my roommate do the actual preparation work. I love eating spinach, but I get physically ill whenever I try to squeeze the water out of it. Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

Ingredients:

1 12-ounce can spinach
4 oz cream cheese/cream cheese substitute
2 Tbsp butter/margarine
3-4 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
2 tsp onion powder
1/8 to 1/4 cup milk/soy milk
1/4 cup bread crumbs (optional)

Directions:
Set stove for 350°. Allow to preheat.

Drain spinach well. This will involve having to squeeze the excess liquid from it. Transfer to 1 quart casserole dish.

Add cream cheese, butter, onion powder, and half of Parmesan cheese to spinach. Mix well. Add milk as needed.

Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and cook in oven at 350° for 20 minutes. If you are using the bread crumbs, add them after 5 minutes.
