This Was Great!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was not bland at all! The subtle sauce did not overpower the broccoli, which was tender, but not mushy at all. The... crackers are a wonderful addition in that they add a different texture to the casserole. Since I'm a butter lover, I added extra butter to coat the crackers with! It's awesome. We have this at least once a week now, and I'm thinking of adding pasta and ham. Enjoy!Read more

The cheese sauce was very creamy but too bland for my tastes, so I added salt, pepper, a bit of hot sauce, and some paprika... -- basically, the same sauce I make for mac & cheese. I subbed shallots for the onion because I like the more subtle flavor, and used 3 broccoli crowns. The finished product was wonderful. Next time, I might use extra sharp cheddar for more of a kick.Read more

Quick, easy and delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I thought this was a quick, easy and tasty dish. I added cooked macaroni so it was like traditional baked mac 'n' cheese and... it was delicious with the broccoli!Read more

Don't even bother with this! I'd much rather have steamed broccoli with cheese sauce over the top. This was a real... disappointment!Read more
