This was quick and easy. Used cheddar instead of American cheese and served it with egg noodles. My kids gave it 5 stars. Next time I'll add mushrooms since I didn't have any tonight. Thanks!

Chose this recipe to use up leftover ham because there were no noodles or potatoes in it. DH is watching his carb intake for the new year. Didn't have any American cheese, so I used gruyere. It made a tasty, thick sauce, but I thinned it a little too much. Used fresh mushrooms that I sauteed first. Didn't have quite 4 cups of broccoli, so I made up the difference with cauliflower. DH said he'd like to have this casserole again. Thanks!

Made this with my niece, it was an easy recipe to teach her how to cook. We found this a bit bland, next time we will add onion and garlic to the roux and use a sharp cheddar. Thank you for a nice casserole dish.

Great casserole! The sauce is nice and thick. I doubled the recipe and used half broccoli and half cauliflower flowerets(per idea in the ingredient list). I used the optional mushrooms; I recommend using them. I added some onion to the butter while making the roux. It was terrific and quite a kid-pleaser! I served it with egg noodles on the side. I'll make this again. Thanx for a new way of using leftover ham.
