Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
• 10.5 oz (1 can) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 cups (crushed) Cheez-It crackers
• 4 tbsp (melted) unsalted butter
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the broccoli florets. Cook for 2-3 minutes, just until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and immediately transfer the broccoli to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Set aside and drain well before using.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gently fold the drained broccoli florets into the mixture, ensuring all pieces are well coated.

Step 5

Transfer the broccoli mixture into the greased casserole dish and spread evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the broccoli mixture.

Step 7

In a smaller bowl, mix the crushed Cheez-It crackers with the melted butter until evenly coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle the Cheez-It cracker mixture evenly over the top of the casserole to create a crunchy topping.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Cheez-It Broccoli Casserole!
