Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups (crushed) Ritz crackers
- 4 tablespoons (melted) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Drain the broccoli and immediately rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Add the cooked broccoli to the mixing bowl and gently toss to coat the broccoli with the cheese mixture.
Transfer the broccoli mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter. Mix until the crackers are evenly coated in butter.
Sprinkle the buttery Ritz cracker crumbs evenly over the top of the broccoli mixture, followed by the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Broccoli Casserole with Ritz Crackers!
