Jennifer's Broccoli Casserole

This casserole has probably been around for ages. It has the usual suspects: butter, mayo and canned cream soup. It's terribly fattening, but it's very popular, and while it does have quite a bit of chopped broccoli in it I wouldn't jot down the recipe and hand it over to your cardiovascular surgeon. I would, however, give it a place of honor on your Thanksgiving table because that's exactly where it belongs. I've made it for my family at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and the dish is always licked clean. I don't make this all the time for the obvious reasons, but it's definitely a homey comfort food that may lead you to sit down and think about your grandmother. It may also make you think about the gym, but this is a food blog afterall and we don't discuss exercise. We just discuss good food, and that's what this is!
