This hearty casserole is my favorite dish to make for a potluck. With the green of the broccoli and the rich cheese sauce, it's pretty to serve, and it makes a tasty side dish for almost any kind of meat. —Margaret Mayes, La Mesa, California

I have used this recipe since it came out in Taste of Home for years. It is a huge family favorite..in fact, I am making it today to take to one of my daughter's friends who just had her wisdom teeth out and needs something yummy but squishy to eat! A definite must try!

This was good but not amazing. I didn't have Velveeta so used half a can of cheddar cheese soup, some mayo and some shredded cheese. Then stirred the whole mixture together. It was good but needed salt!

This recipe was originally in an Easter edition of Taste of Home Magazine several years ago. I've made it every year since and have had requests for the recipe. This recipe is easy to make and tastes great. I use the boxed block of velveeta.

I used velvetta cheese instead of jarred. Added a pound of it melted instead of 8 oz since we love cheese. It was wonderful. No leftovers

This went over well at Christmas. I would probably double it and bake in a larger pan next time as someone else suggested. My only complaint is that mine did not look as pretty as the picture. It seemed like all of the broccoli stayed on top, almost as if it were a topping. Still good, though.

I usually make this for the holidays also. I omit the celery just for personal flavor and put into a 9x13 pan and double the recipe. Very good.
