A creamy, cheesy broccoli casserole that transforms fresh broccoli into a crowd-pleasing side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound broccoli florets, fresh or frozen
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion (optional)
  • 1/2 cup crushed Ritz crackers
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. If using fresh broccoli, blanch it for 2-3 minutes in boiling water, then drain well. If using frozen, thaw and drain.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the condensed soup, milk, shredded cheese, and chopped onion (if using). Stir until well combined.
  4. Add the drained broccoli to the soup mixture and stir gently to coat.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased 8×8 inch baking dish.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the crushed crackers and melted butter. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the broccoli mixture.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom.
  • Add a pinch of garlic powder to the cracker topping for extra flavor.
  • This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
  • This recipe is a great option for meal planning and can be a satisfying part of a low-calorie diet if portioned correctly.
