Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups broccoli florets
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup white onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup crushed butter crackers (e.g., Ritz)
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
Instructions
Prepare the broccoli by washing and cutting it into bite-sized florets. If using frozen broccoli, thaw and drain well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly blended.
Add the broccoli florets to the mixture and stir until all the broccoli pieces are evenly coated with the sauce.
Grease the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
Transfer the broccoli mixture into the crock pot and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the crushed butter crackers with melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole in the crock pot.
Cover with the crock pot lid and cook on HIGH for 2 hours or on LOW for 4 hours, until the broccoli is tender and the topping is golden and crisp.
Once done, turn off the crock pot and let the casserole sit uncovered for 5-10 minutes to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or a vegetarian main course. Enjoy!
