- 8 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

- Fold in the shredded Cheddar cheese, reserving a small handful for topping.
- Spread the broccoli mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top for a melty, golden finish.
- Season the top with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a dash of paprika for color and flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the cheese is fully melted and the top is golden brown. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
