Flavor was bland. With a little help (salt and pepper to taste and a little more cheese) this could be a wonderful dish. I will make it again for our Christmas lunch. I will let you all know how it turns out the second time I make it.

I made this recipe for Thanksgiving I liked it but not that many others did.

This recipe was in our local newspaper and after trying it, I was so disappointed I came to Recipezaar to find another broccoli recipe, and this was 1st on the list! It was definitely easy, and it looked wonderful coming out of the oven, but was extremely bland. I added salt and more cheese, but couldn't get any flavor. If I try again, I may add some onions and/or experiment with cheese with more flavor instead of just the cheddar. It has potential, just needs some tweaking!
