My Favorite Comfort Food Recipe

Growing up, whenever it was cold and rainy outside my family would make broccoli casserole. It easily became one of favorite comfort foods, and it always makes me feels at home.  Now whenever i’m sad or need a little extra pick me up I will ask my parents to make it. I think it is something everyone needs to try, so I want to share the recipe with all you.
