    I made this tonight for dinner. My husband and I liked it. Especially the crunchy topping. Could use a bit more cheesiness but overall a thumbs up. I’d make this again.

    Love these recipe ideas! But just wanted to let you know, I think you have the photos mixed up between this recipe and your Southwest Mexican Macaroni and Cheese Casserole. The photos on this recipe seem to be for the Mexican casserole and the photos on the Mexican casserole are for this Chicken and Broccoli casserole.
