Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Press the thawed tofu to remove excess water. Slice into 1/2-inch cubes. (5 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Place frozen broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl with a few tablespoons of water. Cover and microwave on high power until just tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Drain well. (5 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tofu cubes and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until lightly golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges. Remove from heat. (10 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, combine condensed cream of broccoli cheese soup and milk (or plant-based milk) until smooth. Stir in dry bread stuffing mix, cooked broccoli, sautéed tofu, shredded Cheddar cheese, chili powder, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. (5 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 9x13-inch casserole dish. (2 minutes)

07

Step
25 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. (25 minutes)

08

Step
10 mins

Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the casserole to set slightly and prevents burning your mouth. (10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using sharp Cheddar cheese or a blend of Cheddar and Gruyere.
If you prefer a smoother casserole, blend half of the broccoli cheese soup with the milk before adding it to the other ingredients.
To add a touch of heat, increase the amount of chili powder or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Feel free to experiment with different vegetables, such as cauliflower, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
The casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add about 10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
