Broccoli Cheese Casserole

This broccoli cheese casserole becomes gooey bubbly goodness. There really is nothing better- pure comfort in a bowl and it has broccoli so it is totally good for you (wink wink). Give this recipe a try for your next gathering or as a side dish this week. It is fancy enough for a holiday but comforting enough for an every day meal.

Happy Baking!
