This Loaded Broccoli Cheese Mashed Potato Casserole is the perfect side dish recipe for any occasion!
I’m so pumped to be sharing another fun recipe in partnership with Bob Evans this holiday season featuring their Original Mashed Potatoes!
I’ve kicked up the classic mashed potato side dish to a loaded Broccoli Cheese version and it’ll blow your mind.
My kids go absolutely bonkers for Bob Evans mashed potatoes and so do I.
They’re so creamy because they’re made with real milk and butter for a homemade taste that’ll knock your socks off.
Loaded Broccoli Cheese Mashed Potato Casserole
- Start by combining some chopped up broccoli florets, Bob Evans Mashed Potatoes, shredded cheese and some seasonings in a bowl.
- Spread the mixture in a casserole dish and then bake until heated through.
- Meanwhile crisp up some bacon for the top of the casserole.
One of my favorite things about this dish is that the prep work is minimal.
Loaded Mashed Potato Casserole Tips:
- Make this dish even easier with pre-chopped broccoli and pre-shredded cheese!
- Not a fan of broccoli? No problem, omit the broccoli if desired or substitute with your favorite veggie!
- There is no need to preheat the mashed potatoes before baking, but if you did, the casserole would require less time in the oven.
This Loaded Broccoli Cheese Mashed Potato Casserole was inspired by my Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken. I love the flavors of broccoli and cheese together, so I thought why not add a some veggies to my mashed potatoes?
The combination of the two is stellar! It’s like a loaded baked potato with broccoli and cheese on top. YUM!
Plus it’s a great way to sneak some veggies into dinner for the kiddos!
You’re going to love this super simple casserole side dish!

I don’t buy containers of mashed potatoes… how many potatoes would I use instead? Thank you!☺️
Shawn
You would need about 40oz of mashed potatoes to make this recipe, or about 5 to 6 cups.
Kim
The recipe states 2 mashed potatoes…..2 what? Thanks! Oh and ps, made your ground beef pepper skillet the other night and it was amazing!!!!!
Dana J
Is it 2 containers of the mashed potatoes? And I didn’t think you could put plastic wrap in the microwave? Is there a special kind?
Shawn
Yes, two containers of the mashed potatoes are used here. And I’ve never had a problem with plastic wrap in the microwave?
Cat
You can put plastic wrap in there, just not for too long… it will shrivel…. No tin foil…nothing metal…

I too would like to use homemade mashed potatoes for this recipe. Am wondering, since I’ve never even seen the Bob Evans ones, is there sour cream in them?
Rebecca Andrews
I would like to make this casserole, as it sounds delicious! However, I’m not buying mashed potatoes. So how many cups, etc., of your own mashed potatoes would you use for 2 24 oz. containers of bought mashed potatoes???
Shawn
I love to use the Bob Evans Mashed Potatoes to make this recipe even quicker, but if you’re using homemade I would say that 5 to 6 cups of mashed potatoes would do the trick!
Megan
I need to make these as soon as possible!
Shawn
Hope you enjoy it!
