On the day before Thanksgiving I got a frantic call from my best friend. She needed Paula Deen's Broccoli Casserole recipe! I looked on Zaar and couldn't find it so I am posting it now. She says it is the BEST broccoli casserole. I have to take her word for it since I haven't made it.
There's nothing gourmet about this meaty casserole, it's just an inexpensive, simple, comfort meal that's continued to fill bellies for four generations
The brilliant secret to this recipe, an unclassifiable number that's kind of a stir-fry but with none of the usual ingredients, is the way chickpeas will caramelize and turn nutty-brown if you heat them over high heat in a skillet....
Can you imagine how happy you'd be if you walked in the door after work and the smell of better-for-you pot roast greeted you? Try. Then make it happen in a flash.
It couldn't be easier! Makes a nice side dish, or could serve as a main dish if you're in a vegetarian mood! Subtly sweet with just a hint of spice. Enjoy!
