Happy Thanksgiving, all!
That out of the way, folks, don't use soup in your casseroles; it's cheap, easy, and lazy. Also, when making one of broccoli, remember to blanch first, and cut the plant longitudinally. There is nothing worse than seeing broccoli in a casserole that has been cut transverse to its long axis.
Hope I didn't piss anyone off, but if you made yours contrary to what I described, be assured, everyone is thinking the same thing. Alternatives to soup- mayonnaise and eggs. Alternative to cutting transverse- cut it fucking longitudinal. Alternative to raw- blanch that shit; no one likes crunchy broccoli.
