It sounds like a good idea, but I don't think it would be cheesy enough. Maybe if you're looking for something lightly cheesed, but I think for me it wouldn't be enough. A thought would be to add some shredded cheddar cheese to it while it was nice and hot so that the cheese would melt right in. As to respond to renaebor, I would say yes, it would probably taste great if you made boxed Mac and Cheese and added the broccoli and cheese sauce to it. I use boxed Mac and Cheese all the time and just add in whatever I want for my own special touches. It's the simplicity and convenience of the box, with a bit of a home made touch.

Do any of you think it will taste good if I used the Mac and Cheese from the box and added the package of broccoli and cheese to it?

The great thing about cooking is that you can always add or subtract ingredients to suit your individual taste. Try it the first time as written, and if it's not "cheesy" enough, add more cheese the next time you try the recipe. Or maybe you could try a different cheese....the options are endless.
