Cheesy Sweet COrn and Broccoli Casserole

This is recipe from 12 Tomatoes adapted from a Paula Deen recipe. Great veggie dish that kids will love. I have substituted frozen corn over canned corn which is a personal preference. Fresh corn would be wonderful.

Ingredients

• 2  large head of broccoli
