Recipe: Quick and Easy Broccoli Bake, Impossible Broccoli-Cheese Pie, Broccoli Casserole for Cinda Anton

QUICK AND EASY BROCCOLI BAKE

3/4 Lb. Fresh Broccoli
1/2 Can Cream of Chicken Soup
2 Tbsp Milk
1/2 Cup Grated Cheddar Cheese
1/2 Cup BisQuick
2 Tbsp Butter

Preheat oven to 400* Place the chopped up Broccoli in an ungreased 1-Qt. round casserole dish. In a small bowl, combine the soup and milk; stir until blended. Pour evenly over the chopped Broccoli, and sprinkle the cheese over the top. In another small bowl, mix the Bisquick and butter together until crumbly. Sprinkle over the cheese and broccoli. This mixture should be crumbly, if it is runny, it will not bake properly, and it doesn't taste very good either. Bake at 400* for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.

This dish can be enjoyed at Holidays, family get togethers, or a simple side dish on any night. It is so easy to make, and doesn't take too long to bake.
