Best Broccoli Casserole Recipe

I'm a home economics teacher, and finding vegetables recipes my students enjoy preparing and eating really puts me to the test. Many kids who say they don't like broccoli actually ask for second helpings of this one!—Cynthia Kolberg, Syracuse, Indiana

I've never made a broccoli casserole so I don't have much to go on, but this one was pretty good. A little too much of the soup for my taste so next time I might try adding more broccoli. I decided to put it in my recipe book so that means it's a keeper.

I wonder...am I supposed to bake this covered or uncovered? I liked the taste after adding seasoning and another 1/2 cup of cheese.
