Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 sleeve Ritz crackers
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Add the blanched broccoli to the bowl and gently toss to coat it evenly with the mixture.
Transfer the broccoli mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
Place the Ritz crackers in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into coarse crumbs using your hands or a rolling pin.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Pour the melted butter over the crushed Ritz crackers and mix until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttery Ritz cracker crumbs evenly over the broccoli mixture in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
