A old fashioned classic Broccoli Casserole is a favorite Thanksgiving day side dish recipe. You may remember this as one of those beloved side dish recipes grandma would serve during the holidays.
Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner just wouldn't be the same without a broccoli casserole. As much as I love turkey or ham I look forward to the side dishes the most.
I have my favorites I make each year like this broccoli casserole.
This recipe comes from my mother in-laws stash of old family recipes.
I tweaked the recipe a bit as I always do when I am updating one of my Vintage Recipe Project recipes.
Sometimes I make changes based on my families tastes. Other times especially with very old family recipes I have to update the recipe to modern day cooking methods.

This looks delicious. I've never added mayo in a broccoli casserole, I think it would make it even more tasty. I'm going to make it this week. Can't wait. I'm going to make several yummy side dishes. I always love the side dishes too!
