"This is my favorite recipe ever. It comes from my great-grandmother and it's fantastic! I've noticed most of the brocolli casserole recipe's are using mayonnaise, mine uses sour cream instead and I think you will love the change. Let me know how you like it!"

Definitely yummy. However, I halved the quantity of the sauce ingredients and the cheese... the broccoli seemed well-coated with just half the suggested amounts. Also - how much of the bread crumbs are we supposed to use? There wasn't a measurement given. Thanks!

Delicious and very easy to make. I just made it as a side dish for our supper. However, it will probably become one of my new favorite dishes to pass! Thank you for a great new recipe! PF, Elkhorn Wi
