Broccoli Cheese Casserole

This will  honestly be one of the easiest casserole recipes I think you will ever make! I received this recipe from a very good friend of mine, Christy.  I've been making this casserole for quite a few years now and everyone expects I make it during the holidays! Her original recipe called for a few sticks of butter. I've lighted it up with only needing half a stick, and it still taste just as good!
