I'm a college student on a budget, and this recipe was very affordable to make. I used store-brand ingredients, and it still turned out amazing. I'll definitely be making this again.

I'm a vegetarian, and I was looking for a broccoli cheddar bake recipe that didn't use any meat. This recipe fit the bill perfectly, and it was delicious! I used a plant-based cheese, and it turned out great.
