Need a side for dinner? Let's do this!

Ingredients:

1 TBSP oil (vegetable, coconut, olive – whatever type you prefer)

1 medium yellow onion (diced)

12 oz. broccoli (one Wegmans steamer bag)

1 ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup light sour cream

¼ cup mayonnaise

1 TBSP. Sriracha (optional)

Salt and Pepper to taste

2 large eggs

2 TBSP cornmeal

Directions:

Heat oil in a sauce pan over medium heat until shimmering. Cook diced onion in heated pan until the onions are translucent.  Place cooked onion in a large bowl and set aside. I use the broccoli in the steamer bags because it is crazy-easy.  However you buy your broccoli, heat 12 ounces of it thoroughly and place in the same bowl as the onion. To that same bowl, add 1 cup of cheese, the sour cream, the mayo, the Sriracha (if you dare!), and the salt and pepper. Mix all of these ingredients together thoroughly.  Beat 2 eggs in a separate bowl until you have a well-beaten egg mix. Pour this egg mix into your broccoli-cheese-heaven bowl and mix the two together thoroughly. Pour the contents into an 8” x 8” square baker. Using a teaspoon, shake the cornmeal evenly over the top of the uncooked casserole. Top with the remaining ¼ cup of cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes on the middle rack.

NOTE: I use a gas stove, so please, if you have an electric stove: keep your eye on the cooking time and adjust accordingly for the type of oven you have.

DONE! Now you have an incredible side to serve with your chicken, fish, or steak! What would you add to it? I would love to hear! Maybe some corn? How about Spinach? Are mushrooms out of the question? I sure would love to hear your spin on it. Thank you for reading and talk to you soon! ~ Mary QVC
