Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 sleeve Ritz crackers
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain immediately and place the broccoli in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until fully incorporated.
Gently fold the blanched broccoli into the mixture, making sure it's evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it evenly.
Crush the Ritz crackers into coarse crumbs and place them in a small bowl. Melt the butter and pour it over the cracker crumbs. Stir to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the buttered cracker crumbs over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Ritzy Broccoli Casserole!
