This is an awesome dish. My grandma served this at Thanksgiving and I had to find this recipe for myself. I've made it twice, the first time I over cooked the broccoli and it ruined the flavor. The second time, my husband helped me and he ended up not using all of the broccoli (I think he only used 1 1/2 - 2 lbs of it) and it got rave reviews from my family.
