2 cups milk (skim will work if you prefer)

3 cups cooked, drained, cut-up broccoli

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the final dish will be. Look for fresh, ripe vegetables, high-quality cheeses, and flavorful meats.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is slightly firm to the bite. This will help prevent it from becoming mushy when it is baked.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the ground beef or sausage, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the meat to steam instead of brown.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of different cheeses will create a more complex and flavorful dish. Some good options include mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan.
  • Bake the Mostaccioli Bake until it is bubbly and golden brown: This will ensure that it is cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.
