Great, super easy recipe! I love that I didn't have to bake it in a casserole. Will make again, thanks for the keeper! *Next time I'll try adding shredded carrots to sneak them in for hte kiddos :)

I liked that this didn't call for a canned soup mix or Velveeta. I also felt that the completed dish was somewhat dry. I added a little bit of milk and it seemed to help make it creamier. I also added some pepper & a dash of salt on the finished dish, this brought out the sharpness of the shredded cheddar. I think that I probably used only half of the (fresh) chopped broccoli that was called for, that's what I had on hand (may have attributed to the dryness). The broccoli was nice and tender. Thanks CoffeeB!

This is so simple to prepare. The taste is great and we enjoyed it very much. I only made half the batch and it was perfect. Thank you so much for sharing.

I made this for my lunch the other day and it was very good. Had Velveeta cheese on hand so I cubed that and added it. Added some fresh ground pepper when serving and enjoyed! Thank you Sue for a keeper. Made and reviewed for KK's Recipe Tag Game.
