Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups Ritz crackers, crushed
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Steam or blanch the broccoli florets until they are just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, 1 3/4 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, sautéed onion and garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Add the cooked broccoli florets to the mixture and gently fold until the broccoli is evenly coated.
Transfer the broccoli mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it out in an even layer.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter. Mix until the crackers are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttered cracker mixture over the top of the casserole. Then sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese over the crackers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
