Broccoli Quinoa Casserole






One 10 oz can Cream of Mushroom 98% Fat Free soup (or broccoli), low-sodium, if you prefer

1/2 of a 5.3 ounce  container of Dannon Greek yogurt, plain

2 tablespoons milk

1 Cup reduced fat shredded cheese (cheddar, colby-jack, etc)

1/2 teaspoon Splenda/sugar

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Dash freshly grated nutmeg

Garlic Powder to taste
.
2 cups cooked broccoli, chopped

1 1/2 cup COOKED quinoa (see note)

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

.
To cook quinoa:

3/4 cup quinoa

1 1/2 cups water

1/4 teaspoon salt

 In a small saucepan combine the quinoa, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 18-20 minutes, or until fluffy and the white ring/tail is visible. Fluff with a fork.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and coat a shallow (8×8 in or 5-6 cups) casserole dish - or individual ramekins - with vegetable cooking spray.

In a large bowl combine the soup, yogurt, milk, shredded cheese, Splenda, pepper, and nutmeg until well mixed. Stir in the quinoa and broccoli.
Spoon mixture into prepared casserole. Sprinkle on a couple tablespoons Parmesan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until bubbly on the edges and golden. Makes 8 generous 1/2-cup servings.
