| Went online for Rachel Ray's but reviews said it could be bland and sauce doesn't thicken. Anyone tried hers? Have another mac/cheese/broccoli recipe you like? I want to bake it for the family TG dinner. |

| I know you wanted a baked dish, but why not try this? Macaroni and Cheese Salad (Marilyn Sue) 1 (7 1/4 oz.) pkg. macaroni and cheese I have made this and it is delicious. No reason why you could'nt add some chopped eaw broccoli to it. Might be a welcome change from all the hot food. In fact I am taking a cold dish to TD dinner at my DGS's. It is a salad made with frozen peas, and other good stuff. Sue

| Good idea sue. I'll copy that recipe and keep it in mind. In fact I have two boxes of Kraft Mac/Cheese in the cupboard. |

| Looked at Rachel Ray's and the picture just didn't look good. This one sounds delicious! I have never had mac and cheese with broccoli. Macaroni and Cheese with Broccoli Prep Time: 20 minutes Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, cook macaroni according to package directions, until slightly firm. Drain well. Cook the broccoli following package directions, on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish. In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Add flour, stirring for about 1 minute, until smooth and bubbly. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until thickened, about 3 minutes, remove from heat. Serves 4 to 6 |

| Putting together your casserole recipe right now, glenda. I'll wait and bake it tomorrow morning before heading out to brother's. The Gruyere smells great. I was worried 1/2 cup wouldn't be enough but I think the flavor will be strong enough, esp. along with the cheddar and parmesan. |

I love Gruyere! Enjoy and let us know how it went.  |

| Tasted it and the Cayenne pepper sure is coming thru! I've never cooked with Cayenne as I'm not a big fan of hot,spicey foods, and I knew Cayenne was a hot pepper. I think my brother's clan will be ok with it as they like foods with some zip. We'll see what they say tomorrow. Maybe next time I'll use a little less than 1/4tsp. for myself. I didn't put the bread crumbs on top yet, going to wait and bake it 15min. first tomorrow and then top. You think that will be ok or maybe not necessary to wait. |

| 1/4 tsp doesn't sound like too much. Maybe by the time it's cooked it won't be as strong. I'd definitely wait to put the bread crumbs on top. Why don't you mix the bread crumbs with the cheese before adding? |

| Nope, the 1/4 tsp. wasn't too much, everyone liked the casserole! and yes, I mixed cheese with the bread crumbs when I put it into the oven for the final baking. Thanks! will be making this recipe again. |

| So glad it was enjoyed! |
