Broccoli Cheese Casserole {Weight Watchers}

Broccoli Cheese Casserole-Weight Watchers

Each winter I find myself gravitating towards healthier recipe options.  Likely due to overeating during the holidays and less outdoor activity than during the warmer months.  Nonetheless, here I am again digging through my recipe archives to find the best tasting lower calorie recipes to share with you.  This lightened up Broccoli Cheese Casserole is light on calories but just as yummy as any full fat version I’ve had in the past.

It’s a super easy and figure friendly side for any weeknight family dinner or weekend dinner party.
