on

This warm and comforting loaded broccoli casserole is perfect for a big meal because it combines fresh broccoli with cups of creamy and cheesy flavors. It is topped with crispy breadcrumbs and melted cheese and makes up the perfect dish to share with the whole family, or just have a simple dinner with your family. That is why I describe this casserole as garlic cheesy crunchy and for anyone from the age of five, it will definitely be a hit.
