Mom's Thanksgiving Broccoli Casserole

Submitted by Janie Marie

"This is so rich, but a great compliment to the traditional turkey, potatoes and stuffing. You can assemble this a day or two ahead of time and refridgerate. Makes great leftovers!"

Yum! This was very good, and VERY RICH! I divided recipe to 2 servings for DH and I. We really enjoyed this. I think I will make this for our next family gathering! Thanks for posting! Made for 2009 Spring PAC
