Can You Make Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole Ahead Of Time?Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it the day before, just assemble as instructed but hold off on the breadcrumbs. Once it has cooled, cover and put in the fridge. When you’re ready, top with bread crumbs and bake according to directions (increase the baking time if it’s coming straight from the fridge). How Do You Freeze Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole?Follow the directions for this Broccoli Cauliflower Recipe as written until you get to the breadcrumbs. It’s best if you put them on just before you put it in the oven. Put the casserole in a freezer safe/oven safe pan and after it is completely cooled, wrap tightly with a layer or two of cling wrap. Then, add a layer of foil. A couple of things to note- when you mix the broccoli and cauliflower in the sauce, remove it from the heat immediately. You don’t want it to cook much before freezing, so the veggies don’t get mushy. Also, don’t rush the wrapping. If you wrap and freeze before it is completely cool, your sauce will separate, and the texture will be off! To reheat- remove the cling wrap and foil. Top with bread crumbs and cook as directed until heated through. What Do You Serve With Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole?This rich and creamy Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole goes well with baked chicken or pork.
