This is delicious! 1st time I made it it turned out perfect. I am glad to have another easy, yummy dish that feeds a crowd in the line-up. I did not add the garlic powder, used brown rice cooked with chicken broth instead of water, 2% milk instead of cream and fresh broccoli.
My changes to the recipe were to make it a little healthier I will make the full fat for a special occasion. Really great recipe, thanks Sunny!

The only thing I hated about this dish is that I ate too much! Great combination - thanks for the recipe. And you know it's good when you want to eat it for breakfast the next morning!

This is the second broccoli casserole dish I have made, and it's by far the best. I used white local mushrooms which had a wonderful earthy flavor brought out from the butter and cream. YUM! I think next time I will put more veggies and a little less rice. Personal preference. I loved this recipe!

Sunny is rapidly becoming one of my all-time favorites on Food Network. She never lets me down. This is so much more flavorful than the traditional Broccoli Cheese Casserole. I'll never be making that again! I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of using Half & Half in lieu of the heavy cream. It's a winner!

Good, but too hot for my family. Did not care at all for the cayenne pepper, so i made it again minus the red pepper and liked it alot better. That's why im only giving this a 4 star.

I made this tonight for my husband and I and we both really enjoyed the dish. We had a huge bag of fresh broccoli and a large container of fresh white mushrooms from Costco that we needed to use before they went bad. I searched for a recipe that would work with these ingredients and this dish came up. I ended up using beef stock rather than chicken stock but you couldn't tell a difference. I also made brown rice which was very good in the dish. I don't have a high tolerance for spicy foods and I found this dish just perfect with the amount of cayenne pepper called for in the recipe. I will definitely make this again. It came together nicely and the flavor was good. My only issue was that it calls for salt and pepper to taste but I would have preferred a suggested amount. I put in about 1 tsp of salt and it definitely needed more once the dish was served, otherwise it was great!

For me, this is a great dish, and I made it originally just as it says and loved it, but for other people, it has a bit too much cayenne and garlic. I have reduced the garlic by dropping the garlic powder, and keeping just the fresh garlic. I also reduced the cayenne by half to 1/4 teaspoon. This seemed to be quite a bit more palatable to everyone else. At 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, you still feel the heat a bit, but it's not too strong for children.

If you like garlic and cayenne and the tastes of the people sharing it with you are similar, it is a great recipe as it is, but if you plan on feeding it to people that may have trouble with spicy food or garlic, a couple simple changes make it perfect.

I think this was a pretty good dish. The only thing I did differently was use whole milk instead of cream. I was a little skeptical about the 1/2 tsp cayenne but put it all in anyway and I think it made it a touch too spicy. I love spicy foods but my 3 year old, who will eat pretty much anything, wouldn't eat it saying it was too spicy. I also think, despite the cayenne, there was something bland about it, just something was missing. However, that said I will most likely make it again but with a few tweaks.

I would imagine this would be phenomenal as is, but I was looking for a complete dinner, so I added a few things...

I added:

2 chicken breasts cubed (I browned the chicken, partially cooking it before adding it
6 slices of bacon - chopped, fried and drained of fat
1/4 cup extra onions
1 head of fresh broccoli (stems & florets

I wanted to cut the fat a little, so I used 1/2 c 2% milk and 1/2 extra broth and cut the heavy cream to 1/2 cup.

Turned out great both times I made it. The kids inhaled it and my husband said it blew my usual casserole(the friend/family favorite out of the water.
