Ingredients

• 6 cups broccoli florets
• 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup white onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup crushed butter crackers (e.g., Ritz)
• 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the broccoli by washing and cutting it into bite-sized florets. If using frozen broccoli, thaw and drain well.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly blended.

Step 3

Add the broccoli florets to the mixture and stir until all the broccoli pieces are evenly coated with the sauce.

Step 4

Grease the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Transfer the broccoli mixture into the crock pot and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the crushed butter crackers with melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole in the crock pot.

Step 7

Cover with the crock pot lid and cook on HIGH for 2 hours or on LOW for 4 hours, until the broccoli is tender and the topping is golden and crisp.

Step 8

Once done, turn off the crock pot and let the casserole sit uncovered for 5-10 minutes to cool slightly before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or a vegetarian main course. Enjoy!
