I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but this casserole was surprisingly good. The cheese sauce really made the broccoli palatable.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the ground beef for tofu. The casserole turned out great!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole turned out watery. I think I might have added too much milk.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the casserole didn't turn out as cheesy as I hoped. I think I'll add more cheese next time.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

Absolutely delicious! The broccoli and ziti cooked perfectly together, and the cheese sauce was rich and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
