What makes this recipe yummy
I love the incorporation of the cornbread stuffing mix to this casserole, the bread element binds the other ingredients well, plus it lends great flavor.

You'll need a large mixing bowl, a pot to steam your broccoli (as well as a steam basket). If you don't have one of these you could perhaps boil the broccoli for just 5 minutes instead.
I only needed an 11x7" baking dish. You can feel it out. If you think you have enough of a mixture you could use a 13x9" dish.
