one dish broccoli casserole
Recently, a friend gave us a big bag full of beautiful, fresh broccoli from his greenhouse. I really wanted to make a broccoli casserole, but the older I get, the more I dislike having to clean up after cooking, so I created this recipe and technique to microwave/steam, mix, bake and serve all in one dish! It was quick and easy, and turned out great! Delish!
