Tips

Use fresh broccoli. Fresh broccoli will have a better flavor and texture than frozen broccoli.
Cook the broccoli until it is tender but still slightly crisp. If you overcook the broccoli, it will become mushy.
Don't overbake the casserole. If you overbake the casserole, the top will become browned and crusty.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. This will help the flavors to blend and the sauce to thicken.
You can add other vegetables to the casserole, such as cauliflower, carrots, or onions.
If you are looking for a healthier option, you can use low-fat or fat-free ingredients.
You can also make the casserole ahead of time and then bake it just before serving.
