Too processes - use real cheese folks - its not that hard and has a much better flavour. Make a white sauce, add grated cheese and voila! Cheese whiz is fine, but not for a broccoli topping...yuck!

It was great, I used veggie crackers instead and it added alot of extra flavor.

Fabulous, tasty and easy to make. I have made this many times and my grandchildren keep asking for it. Also very colorful.

Another great way to hide veggies!!! My girlfriend really enjoyed the recipe, she, until now, was not a brocoli fan.
