The Very Best, Broccoli and Cauliflower Casserole!

Submitted by Meekocu2

"This is my Mom's, (in Heaven now) famous recipe. It was always requested by her to make it, now it's requested from me to always bring to family gatherings. I vamped it up the other night and turned it into a Chicken, Broccoli, and Cauliflower Casserole with left-over Rotisserie chicken, and it was a very hearty one dish dinner! I highly recommend trying it both ways!"
