Easy Broccoli Casserole-Easily Adaptable to Weight Watchers Core

Submitted by Shuzbud

"This recipe is not meant as a main meal on its own, despite being named a casserole, but is a lovely side dish to accompany roast meat or something similar. It is very easy to adapt to the Weight Watchers Core plan- simply leave out the cheese, crackers and butter, and use low fat mayonnaise! It is originally from Paula Deen."

Broccoli is my fav veg an this recipe did it proud. I made lots and I'm so glad that I did because the leftovers were also marvelous. I just followed the recipe (ww version) with no additions and it was a 5 star hit here and it's quite likely to show up on the Christmas table.

Very, very nice, although I did tweak it a little in that I used a can of cream of broccoli soup & added a bit of lemon pepper seasoning (as did another reviewer, I see!) & that was most satisfying for 4 of us! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

We really enjoyed this recipe. I did add 1/2 cup of chopped onion, 1/4 tsp lemon pepper seasoning, and 2 cloves of minced garlic .... and okay probably a handful more cheese than specified! :) Very tasty side dish with grilled chicken. Thanks Shuzbud! Not your PAC mom, but wanted to suprise you!

This recipe was reasonably easy, but nobody in the family liked it, which is very unusual. Maybe I missed something but my version was somewhat tasteless.
