This will honestly be one of the easiest casserole recipes I think you will ever make! I received this recipe from a very good friend of mine, Christy. I’ve been making this casserole for quite a few years now and everyone expects I make it during the holidays! Her original recipe called for a few sticks of butter. I’ve lighted it up with only needing half a stick, and it still taste just as good!

I'm OBSESSED with broccoli! For a super-quick verison of this, you can sub a bag of the broccoli in a light cheese sauce from the birds eye or green giant (in the steam-able bags) soooo good!
