The last time we reviewed the Amy’s Kitchen Broccoli & Cheddar Bake Bowl, we didn’t have much to say about it. Sure, we told readers that it was “delicious” and “loaded with cheese,” but we didn’t provide the kind of insight we know our audience craves. To remedy that, we decided to give this meal a second look.
Amy’s dishes are always easy to prepare, and this meal is no exception. Slit open the package and cook it for 4 minutes in the microwave, then it will be ready to eat. If you don’t have a microwave on hand, or if you’re not that eager to eat, you can also cook this in the oven for 35-40 minutes. Either way, you’ll have a perfectly cooked, piping hot meal on your hands!
If you, like us, are based in the Midwest, this dish probably looks pretty familiar to you. This is a classic hotdish; a starchy, casserole-based meal. That said, it’s a lot healthier than tater tot casseroles or meals made with cans of condensed cream soup! The dish uses crispy organic broccoli, and the pasta is rice-based. Even the bread crumbs at the top are gluten-free.
Although this dish has plenty of healthy ingredients, the star of the show is the gooey, mouthwatering cheddar cheese. Amy’s didn’t scrimp when it came to the cheese. The rotini noodles are absolutely soaked in cheddar sauce, and it’s likely you’ll find cheese at the bottom of bowl when you’re cleaning your plate. This is also made with an aged English cheddar, which makes it richer than an ordinary bowl of mac & cheese. This is a simple comfort food, but the quality ingredients make it a next-level dish.
The Amy’s Kitchen Broccoli & Cheddar Bake Bowl may not be fancy, but it’s an incredibly tasty meal nonetheless. Amy’s nails every ingredient, from the broccoli to the pasta to the crispy coating. If you’re looking for a warm, delicious meal to enjoy on a tough day, this is an option we can’t recommend highly enough.
