I am not saying to go into the scientific bit of casserole if it is good for you or not but what I am trying to say here is to have the right mind set before trying to attempt to cook this broccoli casserole. Honestly if you give it your all you`ll love your end results but if you just want to make it for the sake of it than I would say just forget it.
