This was a fun and easy dish to make. The possibilities are endless as to how this meal can be modified ... or not. I prefer it with cream of chicken soup.

Used fresh broccoli (steamed first). didn't have cream of broccoli soup so I used cream of chicken. I stirred in some shredded cheddar. I tried it first with bread crumbs, and didn't like it, so I tried it with crushed saltines. Liked it that way. Tossed in some Parmesan like a previous reviewer suggested. It was a hit by all. This is a keeper. Could add chicken,ham, tuna... Very versatile.

Nothing gourmet about this recipe, however it was a good quick dinner fix. I added diced chicken and fresh carrots/broccoli. Parm cheese helps bring out the flavors.

I used elbow macaroni, fresh broccoli (that I cooked with the pasta), and I upped the milk to a full cup. I also added two cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese for more cheesy oomph. This was good, made better with the fresh broccoli and extra cheese. Very easy. Next time I'd leave off the bread crumbs and salt free seasoning.

Made with cooked fresh broccoli. My kids wouldn't eat more than the obligatory first bite. I didn't like the taste either and felt bad serving it. My husband loved it though so worth a try a guess.

Very simple, easy, quick meal. I switched it up and used organic broccoli soup without all the salt. This is a great recipe to build upon too. A little fake chicken in there adds a nice touch. Served it to my little brother and he gave the thumbs up!

I made this vegan by subbing a creamy broccoli soup from the natural section in my grocery store that had a potato base instead of a dairy base. I used 1 1/4 cups of it as it wasn't condensed. Because of the reduced sodium in resulting dish, it proabably could've used some salt - but 2 out of 3 kids have it a thumbs up and went back for seconds! (The third kid has issues...) I also bought the seasoned bread crumbs instead of seasoning and crumbs.
