Mama Lu's Broccoli Casserole
"I got this recipe years ago from a Jane and Michael Stern cookbook that featured recipes from restaurants around the country. The original recipe was for a smaller casserole and I doubled the recipe. We have it at every holiday meal. Mama Lu's is a southern restaurant that is located in Florida I believe (not sure of the city). I like this recipe because it's not like every other broccoli casserole."

Oh, yooper, you've done it again!!! YUUUUUUMMMMYY!! I used fresh broccoli because I have a ton of it in the fridge (hey, can't pass up a good bargain/lol) Followed the recipe exactly, served with salad and breaded pork chops. DIVINE!! Thank you! ~Manda -
Wonderful casserole! I used fresh broccoli and added some fresh cauliflower to it, only because I didn't have enough broccoli. I sprinkled a few breadcrumbs on top. It was great! We had this with grilled steaks and a plate of cucumber and tomato slices. -
We loved this yooper!! I have lots of broccoli from our garden. I did leave out the sugar. Tasted great and it is different than any broccoli casserole I have ever tried. This went great with our baked orange roughy. Thanks so much :D

This was an excellent casserole to serve to a group of women I entertained recently. I served it with a jellied salad and a Waldorf salad and warm rolls. Everyone raved about it. Thank you. -
Please don't take this personally, yooper, but I didn't care for this at all. I followed it exactly, baked it for the right time, etc... It was scorched on the bottom, too sweet (I didn't like the sugar added), and I didn't care for all the bread in it. I have abstained from rating it because of the "ratings wars", but now decided to be honest.

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite.
Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
