Broccoli Casserole

Grandma's classic recipe. It is simple, quick and flexible according to what's available in the freezer and pantry. It is easy to throw chicken or turkey into, and the ingredient amounts are variable by taste. Both the vegetarians and omnivores in my family give this casserole a thumbs up.
