This is a great dish. I did make a couple of changes to fit the recipe to what I had on hand. I used fresh broccoli instead of the frozen, so I also added about a 1/2 soup can of water when I was mixing the soup,cheese mixture. It baked up so pretty, I almost hated to mess with it, but that thought didn't last long. I highly recommend this recipe.

This was just OK for us. I followed other reviewers advice and added 1/2 can of milk to the mixture. I only baked mine for 15 minutes and the top was starting to dry. I think with different cheeses this would be better. We didn't think the mozzarello and parmesan gave the casserole much flavor. I think maybe cheddar would have given it a better flavor. I also add the brocolli to the noodles to cook the broccoli before baking it as I like my broccoli cooked and not crunchy.

This was only so-so for us. The flavor is good, and it was certainly easy to make. But even though I added 1/2 cup of milk as suggested by others, it still came out very dry - there was nothing to bubble when it was done. I was hoping for a more "saucy" casserole. I may try again with more liquid, but most likely will keep looking. Sorry!
