  • 1½ cups fresh or cooked frozen broccoli, finely chopped

  2. Pour into greased 9-by-13-inch pan.

Tips

Look for the word “whole” at the beginning of the ingredients list to make sure a product is a good source of whole grain. Brown “multi-grain” or “100% wheat” foods may not be whole-grain products.
