Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups crushed Ritz crackers
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, sautéed onion and garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Fold the blanched broccoli into the mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with a small amount of butter or non-stick spray. Pour the broccoli mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers with the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Stir until the crackers are lightly coated.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the broccoli mixture in the casserole dish. Then, top with the buttered cracker crumbs.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
