LISA'S BROCCOLI, SPINACH AND CHEESE CASSEROLE



Lisa's Broccoli, Spinach and Cheese Casserole image

I got this recipe from my cousin Lisa, but there is an (unrelated) amusing story that comes with it. When I was in college, my roommate's boyfriend HATED broccoli, until he tried this casserole. I gave the recipe to my roommate, who passed it on to his mom. When his family came down for graduation, his mom gave me a big hug and thanked me for finding a way to get her son to eat broccoli! Note: I've also made this into a complete meal by adding leftover cooked chicken to the broccoli mixture before baking.
