I guess this side dish didn't wow us as it did the others who reviewed this recipe. My husband and I thought it was ok! While one reviewer stated they couldn't taste the broccoli, I on the other hand could. I did not add a cup of whole milk, as I thought it would of made this dish quite soupy. I just added 4 tablespoons of heavy cream, but perhaps 3 tablespoons would of been enough. I also used 2 cups of the shredded cheese, to give this dish more cheese flavor. I added 1-3/4 cups to mash in, then topped the side dish with the remaining 1/4 cup. I found this dish definitely needed salt to give it more flavor.

This is a great recipe....easy and full of flavour. The first time I made as directed and everyone just loved them. The second time I switched it up a wee bit due to what was on hand. I used buttermilk, 1 cup cheddar and 1/2 cup goat cheese. Both ways are wonderful and would be very nice when you have company for dinner. Thank you so much Scoutie for sharing.

<p>Hello all, being from California, I can honestly say I am a foodie. You can walk by construction workers here and hear them saying things like, So I used some fresh garlic and olive oil, then threw the rest into the pan to sautee. LOL I love all kinds of food, and trying to eat healthier as I get older, but still indulge in the occasional deep-fried food or sweet. <br />I LOVE this site! I have 3 or 4 other food sites such as Epicurious and Food Network, but I always come back here! The ease and all of the features just can't be beat. <br />Thanks Zaar and I look forward to participating more.</p>
