Broccoli and cheese casserole for my sick girlfriend? Help please!
My girlfriend is sick and I'd like to cheer her up tomorrow night (no New Year's eve festivities for us) by baking her her favorite--broccoli and cheese casserole. Unfortunately I'm a lousy cook and have never made a casserole before. Can anyone provide me with a good recipe for this? Thanks a lot.

Not sure if these are what you are looking for, but they are pretty good:
SCALLOPED BROCCOLI
2 - 10 oz pkgs of frozen chopped broccoli (cooked & drained)
WHITE SAUCE
6 Tb butter
2 Tb flour
1/2 cup water (not milk)
1 - 8 oz jar Cheez Whiz
3 whole beaten eggs
Cracker crumbs
Cook & drain broccoli (don't add the usual salt). While it's cooking, make your white sauce. Cook sauce till thick (gravy like consistency); then add Cheez Whiz and mix thoroughly. Add this cheese sauce to well-drained broccoli. Take a small amount of the hot broccoli mixture (about 1/2 cup) and add it to the eggs, then empty warm egg mixture into remainder of eggs (tempering - this is done to prevent the scrambling of the eggs due to hot temp of cheese mixture). Put broccoli mixture into casserole which has been sprayed with Pam & top with cracker crumbs and a lid. Bake at 350 for 30 min. Insert knife in center to check for doneness. It should come out clean.

I make a similar Broccoli and Cheese, but even simpler:
Cook/steam cut up Broccoli.
Melt 1 lb or so Velveeta with some milk.
Crush 1 roll of Ritz crackers.
Layer all above 2 or 3 times and put butter pats on top. Bake 20 minuts.

Alton Brown has a broccoli casserole with cheese. I learned about it on this site. It can be a one meal casserole, it is very rich.

That's very sweet of you. You know that if she's sick with a cold, dairy is the worst possible thing she could eat, right? It will make her more congested. So hopefully she's not sick with a cold.
