This recipe needs a bunch of adjustments, but it'a a great starting point. I used an organic cream of mushroom soup and mixed it with chopped fresh broccoli (not frozen), rather than pouring it on top. This solved the problem of the broccoli not being flavorful, and helped keep it from being mushy. Sprinkled it with cheddar as said in the recipe. I used some really good instant mashed potatoes so it was really fast to make them, then stirred paprika and garlic powder into the potatoes as well as sprinkling a bit on top. This made it really flavorful! The whole family loved this and we ate it as a one pot meal, but it would be a good side for chicken, turkey, or ham as well.

This was tasty over all but I thought that the broccoli lacked a bit I'd add the garlic powder, salt and pepper to the broccoli in the future. It's a total, all in one, side that would be tasty with pretty much anything. Gotta love that :D

YUMMY! I liked it and Hubby LOVED it. It has 3 of his favorite things in it - mashed potatoes, broccoli and cheese! Very easy to throw together. Thanks for posting this keeper! (Hubby said he's willing to make it himself next time!)

Good, easy, and economical. I used leftover cold mashed potatoes so it was super easy, and the timing was still 30 minutes. Thanks for sharing Studentchef. Made for POTLUCK TAG Game.

We loved this potato casserole! I boiled the potatoes and mashed them with margarine and skim milk like I always do. Used a 16 ounce bag of frozen cut broccoli and monterey jack and colby cheese mix. Very neat to have the broccoli and cheese along with the mashed potatoes in one dish! One of the reviewers mentioned it is hard to not eat everything at one setting, it is true! Thank you Studentchef for a wonderful side dish!
