This was quick and easy. Used cheddar instead of American cheese and served it with egg noodles. My kids gave it 5 stars. Next time I'll add mushrooms since I didn't have any tonight. Thanks! -
Chose this recipe to use up leftover ham because there were no noodles or potatoes in it. DH is watching his carb intake for the new year. Didn't have any American cheese, so I used gruyere. It made a tasty, thick sauce, but I thinned it a little too much. Used fresh mushrooms that I sauteed first. Didn't have quite 4 cups of broccoli, so I made up the difference with cauliflower. DH said he'd like to have this casserole again. Thanks! -
Made this with my niece, it was an easy recipe to teach her how to cook. We found this a bit bland, next time we will add onion and garlic to the roux and use a sharp cheddar. Thank you for a nice casserole dish. -
Great casserole! The sauce is nice and thick. I doubled the recipe and used half broccoli and half cauliflower flowerets(per idea in the ingredient list). I used the optional mushrooms; I recommend using them. I added some onion to the butter while making the roux. It was terrific and quite a kid-pleaser! I served it with egg noodles on the side. I'll make this again. Thanx for a new way of using leftover ham. -
We thought this was delicious. Simple and easy to make. Will make many more times. Thanks for posting.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all.
Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol
For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
