Step-by-Step Instructions for Broccoli Spinach Casserole
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Place broccoli florets in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 4-5 minutes until tender but vibrant green. Drain excess water and chop into smaller pieces.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped broccoli with softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, crushed garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Fold in fresh baby spinach and shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
  4. Spread the broccoli mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, and top with a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  6. Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving warm. Cut into squares and enjoy.
