Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Bring a large pot of water to boil and blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Add the blanched broccoli to the bowl and stir until the broccoli is evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
Pour the broccoli mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers with the melted butter. Stir until the crackers are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the cracker topping 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 bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
