Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds fresh broccoli florets cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 10.5 ounce can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups butter crackers like Ritz, crushed
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, mayonnaise, beaten eggs, 1½ cups of the cheddar cheese, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
  4. Add the blanched broccoli to the mixture and fold gently until all florets are evenly coated.
  5. Transfer the broccoli mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the crushed butter crackers with the melted butter until well combined.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese over the broccoli mixture, then top with the buttered cracker crumbs.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
  9. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to let the casserole set.
