Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
• 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups crushed Ritz crackers
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, sautéed onion and garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Fold the blanched broccoli into the mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 6

Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with a small amount of butter or non-stick spray. Pour the broccoli mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers with the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Stir until the crackers are lightly coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the broccoli mixture in the casserole dish. Then, top with the buttered cracker crumbs.

Step 9

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 10

Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
