I had a recipe yrs ago like this but lost it! THIS was fabulous!!!! The recipe I had used broccoli & cauliflower and didn't have water chestnuts in it. I liked the water chestnuts, added a nice crunchy texture to the recipe. I followed your recipe exactly and will make it again for sure! Thanks for a 5 + star recipe!!!!

I am so glad that I tried this because it's one of the best broccoli casseroles that I've ever tasted! I used reduced-fat versions of the cream cheese and sour cream. I used fresh broccoli flowerets. I was worried that it may be too salty, but it was just right. Thanx for sharing this awesome recipe. It's a keeper!

Very delicious casserole! Creamy, tasty and cruncy, all at the same time. The chestnuts added crunchynes, but they don't really contribute a lot to the flavor, so I wouldn't worry too much, if I didn't have them on hand, next time.
