Easy Broccoli Casserole with either fresh broccoli or frozen broccoli is one of my mother's recipes that is definitely a family favorite. So easy and comforting!
Broccoli has gotten an undeserved bum wrap! After all, it really does taste good. But for some reason, children do not gravitate toward it. I am not sure why either!
Broccoli has always been one of those "play" foods in our house. I mean, we have joked about broccoli and especially fresh steamed broccoli resembling trees or bushes. "Who can eat their trees first?" or "Who can make their trees stand up?
So, I am just not sure why broccoli is such an unpopular vegetable!

I have to admit I never used to be a big fan of broccoli when I was young but my sister loved it. I just thought it was borning. Now however, I really enjoy it and this looks absolutely delicious. Definitely trying this with your homemade cream of mushroom soup!
