The recipe I want to tell you about is a special one. Its called Grandma's Broccoli Casserole.
This recipe has been in our family since my Great Grandmother made it at Christmas.
When we were kids, we use to travel every year from Phila PA to upstate N.J. to our Grandparents house for Christmas. We would walk through there door and smell the casserole cooking in the oven. My Great Grandmother would always tell me and my siblings that she didn't make the casserole this year for Christmas! We would get upset because it was so good and we were never allowed to check the oven either, but, when it was time to sit down and say grace, there it was, the casserole. We had smiles from ear to ear.
We lost Grandmom Brien a few years back. Since then, my Grandmother and my Mother try to keep the tradition of the Broccoli Casserole at Christmas dinner. But even though their's taste good,it's not like my Great Grandmother's. She will always be the queen of the Broccoli Casserole.
Since I have been in the Army I have been missing it sooo much. when I get back to the states my mother will make it, but it won't be the same.
The Recipe for the Broccoli Casserole:
1 large frozen broccoli pacage, cooked and drained
1 can cream mushroom soup
1/2 cup grated chedder cheese
