Broccoli Casserole

I tried this recipe in 2012...it came from the Food Network (from "Good Eats").  I put in half as many mushrooms because I'm not a big mushroom fan, and only one egg because my husband's slightly allergic. It came out delish. I searched for vegetable recipes, since I'm trying to eat healthier...

Cut up broccoli crowns into bite-size pieces, to make 6 cups. (the original recipe said to blanch them in salt water, but I didn't bother) Saute 12 oz. sliced mushrooms in 1 Tbsp. butter. In a bowl, combine 1/2 C. mayo, 1/2 C. plain yogurt, 1 1/4 C. shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1/3 C. blue cheese dressing, 2 eggs, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 1/2 tsp. fresh ground black papper and the flavor pack of 1 package ramen noodles. In a separate bowl, combine broccoli, mushrooms, and the noodles from the Ramen package (broken up), then toss together this mixture with the other to evenly coat everything. Place in an 8 by 8 inch baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and cook for 45 min., covered. Then remove cover and bake for 15 min. more to brown. Cool for 15-20 min. before serving. This is SO easy and it was quite tasty.... It's NOT Gluten free or low carb. You could use rice noodles for gluten free, or maybe some low carb noodles if you only care about carbs. Maybe some soba buckwheat noodles would work (both gluten free and low carb). NOTE: some people who eat gluten free find that they are allergic to blue cheese or have to be careful about which brands they eat.
