There are so many ways to enjoy broccoli and cheese,

I love a mixture of cheddar and mozzarella cheese,

it reminds me of these cheddarella stuffed potatoes I used to get that were HUGE, really I have no idea how they got ahold of such big baking potatoes, but they were larger than an adult putting their two hands together.

You can use this cheese sauce and broccoli over baked potatoes and believe me, you’ll love it,

but today I’m sharing with you a Baked Ziti Recipe,

classic baked ziti includes ziti noodles, they are thicker than penne and have a really great bite to them, they have a great texture when baked in sauces and you can click HERE for my Classic Baked Ziti Recipe,

Make the cheese sauce while the pasta boils, it’s full of delicious flavor. I add in chicken flavor to it and yes, of course, you can add chicken to this dish. 2 Cups of cooked shredded chicken will be great.

This is a great vegetarian meal, just use vegetable flavor.

Add chicken for some additional protein.

Bring this for game day, potluck and as a great side dish for dinners.

It goes great with ham!

The holidays are almost upon us and this will make having company easy, just pick up some ham, make this and keep it simple!
