Description

This Easy Broccoli Cheese Casserole is creamy, cheesy, and topped with a buttery cracker crust. It’s the perfect side dish for holidays, potlucks, or a cozy family dinner.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the casserole:

  • 4 cups (about 1 lb / 450 g) fresh or frozen broccoli florets
  • 1 can (10.5 oz / 300 g) condensed cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) mayonnaise or sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups (200 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the topping:

  • 1 cup (100 g) crushed buttery crackers (such as Ritz)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish.
  2. Prepare the broccoli:
    • If using fresh broccoli, steam or blanch it for 2-3 minutes until just tender. If using frozen broccoli, thaw and drain well.
  3. Mix the casserole ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, mix the condensed soup, mayonnaise (or sour cream), Dijon mustard (if using), garlic powder, 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Fold in the broccoli until evenly coated.
  4. Assemble the casserole:
    • Transfer the broccoli mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese on top.
  5. Prepare the topping:
    • In a small bowl, mix the crushed crackers with the melted butter until evenly coated. Sprinkle the cracker mixture over the casserole.
  6. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  7. Serve:
    • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a side dish or main course.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or red pepper flakes.
  • Substitute the cheddar with Gruyère or Monterey Jack for a different cheesy twist.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
