Broccoli Cheese Casserole That’s Better Than Grandma’s

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at PSU chapter.

When you think about Thanksgiving, you think “turkey”. When you think about Easter, you may think “ham”. But if you’re anything like me, you think about the side dishes. Face it – without the sides, the dinner just wouldn’t cut it.

For me, that one deal-breaker is my family’s broccoli casserole. If it’s there, I’m happy. If it’s not on the table, I’m confused.

Warning: If you read “broccoli” and thought “healthy”, you may as well stop reading. We were all hoping this dish was healthy, but unfortunately, it’s not even close. But, hey, it’s delicious!
