This is a lovely tasting broccoli casserole! I would definitely recommend it for serving it during Thanksgiving and / or Christmas! We had it during a weeknight to serve along with chicken and we all enjoyed it very much. The cheese sauce, bacon adds lots of flavor, but my favorite part was the crunchy bread over the top. Thanks so much for sharing, Lavender Lynn! Made it for FYC.
