We eat it often as a vegetable, steamed. Probably more often than any other veggie, as my kids love it. I also like to make broccoli cheese soup, especially this time of year.
Jennie, we like this casserole that my mom always made. I am guesstimating a bit on amounts as I don't have it written down anywhere, but always tastes good regardless.
1 large or 2 small bags of frozen broccoli (or equivalent fresh), lightly steamed
about 4 cups diced cooked chicken (you can do less, though, if needed)
1 can cream of chicken soup (I sub my own homemade version these days)
1/3 cup mayonnaise
approximately 1/3 cup milk
Editing to add a small splash of lemon juice which goes in with the sauce.
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups (or more) shredded Cheddar
Layer the lightly steamed broccoli and the chicken in a 9 x 13" pan. Mix the cream of chicken, mayo, and milk together along with salt and pepper and pour over. Sprinkle on cheese and bake for about 30-35 minutes at 350 or until hot and bubbly. We serve this with cooked rice.
