- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup Sour cream

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch them for 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
Add the blanched broccoli and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture. Gently fold to combine.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter. Mix until the crackers are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the cracker mixture evenly over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
