Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 3 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Fold the blanched broccoli into the mixture, ensuring the broccoli is evenly coated.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter. Stir until the crackers are evenly coated.
Step 7
Sprinkle the buttered cracker topping evenly over the casserole.
Step 8
Top the casserole with the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly, and the topping is golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving.
