EJ’s Broccoli Mac & Cheese:
12 oz bag of frozen broccoli florets
12 oz bag of frozen broccoli cuts
(You can use just florets but we like the stems to add texture)
1/2 of a 8 oz bottle of green lid shelf stable parmesan cheese
2 bags of 8 oz sharp cheddar shredded cheese or 1 big one
16 oz sour cream of your choosing
24 oz small curd cottage cheese
(16 oz is fine if not adding broccoli)
16 oz box of any pasta
Boil pasta and frozen broccoli together in same pot. Drain when pasta is al dente. Mix everything in pot, but only use 1/2 shredded cheese. Put in greased oven safe pan - I use a 9 x 12. Add the rest of the big bag of cheese or second bag of cheese on top before you bake it. Put in a 350-400 degree oven for 30-40 minutes. Use the higher temperature and longer cooking time if you like it crispy. We do! 😍 This also makes a great meal if you cook a package of Italian sausage links or another savory sausage & chop them up, drain the grease, and add them to the mix. I don't add any salt because the cheeses are pretty salty, but add salt and pepper to taste if you like.
I LOVED THIS RECIPE!!! I added in some cooked chicken breast some onion and garlic powder and made a panko topping to add before baking, too. Thanks a million EJ I appreciate you sharing your recipe and your support here means to world to me!

Here’s a link to my original recipe, just add a tsp of vanilla into the pudding mix, replace the vanilla wafers with Nutter Butter cookies, top with some mini chocolate chips and if you’re feeling extra - melt up some peanut butter in the microwave to drizzle over the top!
Here’s the multipurpose trifle bowl at Walmart and I linked one in my Amazon storefront, too in case you don’t shop at Walmart:
