I've been on the lookout for a great beef and broccoli recipe for years. It always looks good, but then I'm disappointed with the taste. I made this new recipe tonight in hopes of it being "the one". We thought this recipe was good, but not blow-your-socks-off great. We agreed it was missing something, but just couldn't put our fingers on what that something was. My mistake may have been using fat-free catalina dressing. It almost seemed like the dish needed to be sweeter and the fat-free catalina doesn't have quite the same sweetness the regular version has. This was a good priced meal at only $1.80 per serving and the kids had a blast using chopsticks and getting fortune cookies. EASY BEEF AND BROCCOLI
