Johnny G's Favorite Broccoli

Submitted by ForeverMama

"This is my husband's favorite broccoli, therefore I've named it after him. I've been making this recipe since the beginning of our marriage and it's always been one of his requests since that time. I found this recipe in a Southern Living magazine."
