I’m sure everyone has either heard of had some sort of broccoli and cheese dish or more commonly referred to as a casserole. Often times it consists of broccoli, cheese ( creamy cheese sauce or shredded) and some type of starch hear its normally rice, I’ve heard of people using potatoes. I could see it working and being a thing. So full disclosure I don’t eat broccoli and cheese often its probably because its one of those holiday dishes for me where you already have too much food on your plate then adding that although delicious just tips the scales and makes you feel bad afterwards. So today I just so happened to be craving broccoli and cheese I kind of wanted all around comfort food meal. So I thought I’d go for. I mean Im sure I have broccoli and some cheddar. Right? Wrong. So I thought about it and remembered making a steak with blue cheese butter and broccolini on the side. Thinking about how delicious that was and how well they went I just went for it and this will probably replace my normal broccoli and cheese go-to.
