A Secret Ingredient Takes This Creamy Broccoli Cheese Casserole Recipe to the Next Level

So many of us are fans of broccoli cheese casserole recipes, and for good reason. That creamy, cheesy goodness makes broccoli so much better!

I’ve seen lots of broccoli cheese casserole recipes topped with crackers, breadcrumbs and stuffing (which is how I make it). But my friend Sherry’s broccoli casserole recipe has a special secret ingredient that I’d never heard of before she shared it with me – she uses crushed Corn Flakes. Seriously!
