5 stars if using fresh broccoli. I made this several times. Just really easy and really good. IMO, no need to cook the fresh broccoli before mixing it in. I add the whole 4 oz jar of diced pimientos. When a recipe calls for a bread crumb topping, I always use crushed cornflakes with butter. This last time I had leftover rice, so I added it. I think noodles on the side is a great idea. TOH has a recipe for Amish Buttered Noodles that is fantastic. This recipe might be great with fresh asparagus - again, I would not precook before adding it to the other ingredients.

This is it!! Thank you so so so much! My grandma made something similar when I was growing up. She\u2019s been dead 30 years and no one had her recipes (she didn\u2019t write many down.
