I picked this recipe because I had most of the ingredients on hand. After adding the flour it did seem a bit like mashed potatoes, but I added a little more milk, a couple pinches of nutmeg, some onion powder and more cheese. Didn't have crackers, so used bread crumbs and it was delicious! Will definitely be making it again!

Not bad, but not great. Took more time than just steaming some broccoli and making a cheese sauce and wasn't as tasty. The crackers came out kind of soggy, maybe it needed more cooking time but I would probably just leave them off or use less if I made it again.

Very tasty and easy to make! Will def be making this again! Great way to get the kids to eat broccoli! I only used about 1 tbs. of flour and a lot more cheese! I used a combo of sharp and reg cheddar and monterey jack. I also used a little velveeta and added a bit of black pepper to the mix as well. Also, my kids enjoy it when i add some frozen corn to the mix...they seem to eat the broccoli more! I will do anything to get them to eat the greens!!!
