Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh broccoli florets
- 10.5 oz Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1.5 cups Ritz crackers (crumbled)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still vibrant green. Drain immediately and transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Drain again and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
Gently fold the cooked broccoli into the mixture until evenly coated.
Transfer the broccoli mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
In a small bowl, mix the crumbled Ritz crackers with the melted butter until well combined.
Sprinkle the cracker mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
