One of my grand-kids is not fond of vegetables, but she loves my broccoli casserole! I love it too, though it's not for those who are strict calorie counters. It makes a great side dish for holiday meals, but it can be served as a main dish also. For vegetarians, omit the ham, and use cream of onion soup instead of the chicken soup.
