A variation of this recipe for seafood lovers:
# Melt cream cheese with about 3 tablespoons of butter.
# Add soup, broccoli, and precooked frozen salad size shrimp or shredded shrimp or crabmeat (imitation crab is great).
# Die-hard Italian food cravers will love it with Italian sausage in place of the ground beef.
