Ingredients
- 8 cups chopped broccoli florets (532g)
- 1 (10.5-ounce/298g) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup mayonnaise (232g)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (114g)
- 2 large eggs beaten
- ⅓ cup minced onion (50g)
- 1¼ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 32 buttery crackers crushed (1 3/4 cups/97g crushed)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 13x9-inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Fill a large bowl with ice water.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high. Add the broccoli, and cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer, using a slotted spoon, the ice water. Let stand until cooled, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain well.
- In a large bowl, stir together the broccoli, soup, mayo, cheese, eggs, onion, salt, and pepper until evenly combined. Spoon into the prepared casserole dish. Top evenly with crushed crackers, and drizzle evenly with melted butter.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until top is golden brown and the casserole is heated through. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- To help get the most water out of the broccoli, you can pat it dry with paper towels before adding it to the filling. Making sure the broccoli is dry prevents the casserole from becoming watery.
- Be mindful when cooking the broccoli not to overcook it. It should still be crisp-tender as it will cook more in the casserole. You don’t want it to become mushy. Have the ice water ready so you can stop the cooking process immediately.
- Allowing the broccoli cheese casserole to cool before cutting gives it time to set up. This makes serving much more manageable, so don’t skip this step.
- If you’re making this for a holiday gathering and want to double the recipe, use two baking dishes.
- If you prefer a broccoli casserole with Ritz crackers, you can substitute an equal amount of crushed Ritz crackers for homemade or store-bought breadcrumbs.
- Feel free to switch the cheddar cheese for your favorite melty cheese, such as mozzarella, Swiss, Gruyere, or pepper jack.
- For variety, you can swap out some broccoli for cauliflower or make the dish even more filling with a cup of cooked rice or ½ cup of diced cooked chicken or turkey.
