ULTIMATE BROCCOLI - BLUE CHEESE CASSEROLE
This recipe has been slightly modified to suit the taste of people who prefer a little more taste in the casserole. Other recipes for Broccoli and Blue Cheese casserole are often runny, have only a slight flavor to them, and over cooked broccoli. We make this at Thanksgiving, Christmas, 4th of July, and other special occasions. It is the only dish of our 9-12 other dishes that doesn't ever make it to the refrigerator since it is completely gone on the first pass around the table. It is considered dessert by my 14 year-old son because it is so delicious.
