Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, egg, and finely chopped onion. Mix until well incorporated.

Add the blanched broccoli florets to the mixture and season with salt and black pepper. Stir gently to coat the broccoli evenly.
Step 5
Transfer the broccoli mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the crushed Ritz crackers. Sprinkle this crunchy topping evenly over the casserole.
Step 7
