Easy, filling, and delicious!!! I used Recipe #278160 in place the cream of mushroom, 1 egg, extra cheese, and about 2/3 a sleeve of whole wheat Ritz crackers. I actually forgot to melt some butter on top, but that didn't seem to affect anything :) I also had 1 poached chicken breast in the fridge, so I shredded that and added it into the dish. I served this with some cooked brown rice and a salad. This is going into the recipe box; thanks, Mary!

add small onion saluted in butter- use a sweeter Mayo ( so it will add favor instead of grease), use frozen broccoli and don't cook it before hand. Make it the day before (not cooked) keep over night in refrig. and use cheese on top instead of crackers. I have been making this for 28 years. I always have to make 2 pans so other can take some home.

This was very good but I found the mayonnaise taste overwhelming and I cut the mayo by at last a third. Next time I make this, I will either omit the mayo altogether or put in no more than 1/4 cup.

Good basic recipe, but cream of mushroom soup? Really? If I want that many chemicals in my meals, I douse it in RoundUp. Too much MSG. Just saute some fresh sliced mushrooms in the same butter, add a half cup of sour cream, and delete the mayo. MUCH better and you taste both the mushrooms and the broccoli, not some chemically-laden soup.
