What Makes Broccoli Cheese Casserole So Good?
One reader said, I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit.
I was looking for the quintessential deep South, church potluck broccoli casserole and this fit the bill.
I was really unenthused about the broccoli but this turned it into an amazing dish.
The family loved it.

Panko or gluten-free bread crumbs can also be substituted as needed.
Make it ahead.Lastly, this is a great recipe to make a day ahead of time.
Just prepare it as directed, cover with aluminum foil, and refrigerate until ready to bake.
