Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Casserole
  • 6 cups fresh broccoli florets about 2 bunches
  • 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup canned or homemade
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp dried minced onion
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese freshly grated
  • 1 cup cheese crackers crushed

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add broccoli florets and cook for 2 minutes. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, mayonnaise, eggs, and dried minced onion until smooth. Stir in the grated cheddar cheese until evenly combined.
  3. Add the drained broccoli to the bowl and gently toss until fully coated in the creamy mixture.
  4. Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish or 8x8-inch baking dish. Transfer the broccoli mixture into the dish and spread evenly.
  5. Sprinkle crushed cheese crackers evenly over the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until hot and bubbly with a golden, crisp topping.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of black pepper to the sauce. You can substitute Greek yogurt for part of the mayonnaise for a lighter version.
