Ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1.5 cups Ritz crackers, crushed
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

Steam or blanch the broccoli florets until they are just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Drain well and set aside.

Step 3

In a sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, 1 3/4 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, sautéed onion and garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.

Step 5

Add the cooked broccoli florets to the mixture and gently fold until the broccoli is evenly coated.

Step 6

Transfer the broccoli mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it out in an even layer.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter. Mix until the crackers are evenly coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle the buttered cracker mixture over the top of the casserole. Then sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese over the crackers.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
