The results of this broccoli rice were insane. We could not have imagined how amazing a plate of homemade creamy broccoli could taste but my gosh, we were blown away!
Check out what my friends over at The Kitchen Is My Playground had to say about this one,
“Creamy Broccoli Casserole is a family-favorite, indeed. With its cheesy broccoli goodness and buttered cracker crumb topping, what’s not to love? It’s a perfect side for the holidays or any day!”
They sure got that right! This dish is absolutely perfect for the holidays, but also for normal everyday entertaining or a family weeknight dinner. It is just that simple and delicious!
Ingredients
1 (14 or 16 oz.) package broccoli florets
1 c. shredded mild or medium Kraft cheddar cheese, divided
1 (10 3/4 oz.) can Swanson cream of mushroom soup
1/4 c. Hellman’s mayonnaise
1/4 c. McArthur milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/8 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. Ritz and/or Keebler Club cracker crumbs (about 1 “sleeve” of crackers; I use a combination of 3/4 c. Ritz + 3/4 c. Keebler Club)
1/4 c. Land O’ Lakes butter, melted
Instructions
1. Thaw broccoli and warm broccoli in the microwave for about 5 minutes; drain very well. Cut any large florets into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
2. In a bowl, combine broccoli, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar, cream of mushroom soup, mayonnaise, milk, egg, and salt. Spoon into a greased 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish. Top with remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
3. Stir together cracker crumbs and melted butter until crumbs are moistened. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the broccoli mixture.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 – 50 minutes until bubbly and crumb topping is light golden brown.
