Notes

If you want the broccoli to be soft and not have any crunch, steam it or microwave until crisp-tender.
If you are adding raw broccoli to the casserole, cut it into small pieces, especially the stems and it will have just a little crunch left when cooked.
You could also use frozen broccoli that has been defrosted.
