Broccoli Casserole
"Broccoli Casserole is our family tradition and I sometimes look for an excuse to make it. :) There's never enough! This recipe is portioned for four. I prefer steaming broccoli in a pot with water filled to the bottom of a steamer basket, covered, for about 6-8 minutes. Broccoli should still be somewhat firm and bright green. When it becomes mushy and dull in color all of the nutrients have been leached and it actually loses flavor. You'll want to allow room for the broccoli to cook a little bit more in the oven."
