Description

This Broccoli Casserole is a delicious family dinner option that comes together in only 50 minutes. It’s easy to make and a great choice for beginner cooks or anyone who doesn’t want to spend endless time actively cooking in the kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups fresh broccoli florets (florets from ~2-3 medium-sized heads of broccoli)
  • 1 can (10.5-ounce) cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup (240 grams) sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tablespoon dried minced onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup (~80 grams) crushed buttery crackers or cheese crackers (Ritz or Cheez-Its work well)
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, then set aside.
  2. Steam Broccoli: Arrange a steamer basket in a saucepan with about 1 inch of water in it. Put broccoli florets in steamer basket, cover with a lid, bring water to a boil over high heat, then steam broccoli for about 3-5 minutes until just tender, then set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Mix Casserole Base: In a large mixing bowl, mix together cream of mushroom soup, eggs, sour cream or Greek yogurt, dried minced onion, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add Broccoli and Cheese: Stir in steamed broccoli and half the shredded cheese.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour broccoli mixture into prepared baking dish, then use a rubber spatula to spread into an even layer.
  6. Add Toppings: Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese on top. Then, in a small bowl, combine crushed crackers with melted butter and spread this over the cheese layer.
  7. Bake: Transfer baking dish to oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
  8. Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Recipe Notes:

Refrigerator Storage: First, allow the casserole to cool to room temperature to prevent condensation and sogginess. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. 

Freezer Storage: Transfer the baked and cooled casserole to a freezer-safe container, label it with the freezing date, and store it for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Reheating Instructions: Transfer the stored casserole to a baking dish, cover it with foil to avoid drying out, then bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes until it’s warmed throughout. Or microwave a serving at a time in 30-second intervals until warmed throughout.
