Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs fresh broccoli florets
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup butter crackers, crushed
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain well.
In a large bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and milk.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.
Add the drained broccoli florets to the cheese mixture and stir to coat.
Pour the broccoli mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed butter crackers and melted butter. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the broccoli mixture.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can use cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom soup.
If you don’t have butter crackers, Ritz crackers or even breadcrumbs can be used for the topping.
This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
