Bleu Broccoli Casserole

"This is my 'toned down' adaptation of the other Bleu Cheese Broccoli Casserol dishes posted here. Much lighter in calories and still super tastey. If you don't have gorgonzola or bleu cheese on hand (I keep one of these in the fridge for salads) then you can use any yellow cheese such as cheddar but the flavor will be milder."
