Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1.5 cups crushed crackers (like Ritz or saltines)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Mix until smooth.
Add the drained broccoli florets to the cheese mixture and stir until the broccoli is evenly coated.
Transfer the broccoli mixture to a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the crushed crackers with the melted butter. Mix well until the crackers are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttered crackers over the top of the broccoli mixture to create the crust.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
