I made this last night, modifying it from a Cooking Light 2007 recipe. It can be P1 friendly without the crackers on top.
Broccoli and Cheese Casserole
2 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
Cooking spray
1 cup fat-free milk
2½ tablespoons whole wheat flour (Leave this out for P1'ers; it will be fine without it)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¾ cup (3 ounces) shredded sharp Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese (or whichever lowfat cheese you prefer)
1 cup reduced fat mayonnaise
For P2'ers - Kellogg's All Bran Crackers (Garlic & Herb flavor), crushed (about ½ cup crushed)
1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Arrange broccoli in an even layer in a baking dish coated with cooking spray; set aside. (I used round baking dish, and it fit perfectly)
3. Combine milk, flour, salt, and pepper in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Cook 1 minut or until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add cheese and stir until smooth. Stir in mayonnaise. Spoon cheese mixture evenly over broccoli.
4. Phase 2 only: Crush the All Bran crackers, and spread over top of the casserole.
5. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes.
Makes 10 servings (serving size: about ¾ cup)

I actually indicated that the crackers were for P2'ers only.
Thanks for the recipe, Joy!!! It sounds really good!!! Wonder if you could get away with less mayo??? I sometimes try 3/4 cup when it calls for a cup and usually it works ok.

Probably so...the original recipe called for 1½ cups, and I cut that down.
Ah! Loving this veggie recipe too! Instead of crackers on top, I think I am going to serve it over rice and make it a B-rice-andCheese casserole!!!
Served along side a pork chop - yum!
Made this today!!! Easy recipe from preparing to cleaning up, tastes great, though if you don't like a mayo taste, I suggest cutting back on the 1 full cup just a bit.
Feeds 10 - um, no feeds one hungry Jennie lunch with a tad left over. ;-)
I've got this in the plans to make -- do you think you could cut the mayo by 1/2 and be ok?

Maybe cottage cheese?
