I had some leftover broccoli and cheese from a previous meal, so I decided to try making these broccoli balls. They were so easy to make and they turned out great! I'll definitely be making these again.

These broccoli balls were a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if there was less cheese and more broccoli. But overall, they were still pretty good.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but I loved these cheesy broccoli balls. The cheese and bread crumbs really masked the taste of the broccoli. I would definitely make these again.
