I made this for the first time at Thanksgiving. The whole family loved it! Even the little kids. I then made it for a pot-luck at work. It went over, big-time. It's been added as a new family tradition for holidays.

This was a good dish. I did use fresh broccoli and a lot of it. I also added some garlic powder and about a half chopped onion. What was great was I toasted some chopped up bread and used that on top with the melted butter. The toasted buttered bread just melted in your mouth. Everyone eats all of this up when I make it. I will keep on making this.

Wow! Can't believe I never rated this...have made it at least a dozen times and always get asked for the recipe. I always use fresh steamed broccoli, 1 tsp garlic, 1/4 tsp of curry (if I want to change it up) and 3 - 4 scallions finely chopped. I use 2 cans of soup and 3 eggs...this is sooo good! Thanks so much for posting this great recipe!! Update...made this again and used Asparagus in place of the broccoli...it was delish! Either way a GREAT recipe...love it!

This has been one of my recipe box award winners for at least 5 years now. Whenever I make it, whether it be for a family dinner, potluck or as a meal on wheels for a friend in need I have always been asked where I got the recipe and could they have a copy. Such an easy recipe to make. I also use Steamed broccoli rather than frozen in my recipe. Thanks for sharing such a well loved and popular dish.

yum yum yum!! we made this as a side dish and threw in some cubed sweet potato which complimented the broccoli well.
