To prepare, simply heat the contents of the package according to the instructions on the packaging, usually either in a skillet on the stovetop or in the microwave. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating and to distribute the cheese sauce. The broccoli should become tender-crisp, and the sauce should be heated through and bubbly. Avoid overcooking, which can make the broccoli mushy. Serve immediately as a warm and flavorful side.
