Ingredients Needed:
- 20 oz frozen chopped broccoli, cooked and drained
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 10 3/4 oz cans of condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups buttery crackers, crushed
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
How To Make This Broccoli Casserole:
- Preheat and prepare the dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13×9-inch baking dish with vegetable oil spray.
- Mix the casserole ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked broccoli, mayonnaise, grated cheddar, mushroom soup, and eggs. Stir until well combined using a metal spoon.

Recipe Tips
- Use fresh broccoli: If you want a brighter taste, you can replace frozen broccoli with fresh, just make sure to cook it before mixing.
- Choose sharp cheddar: Using sharp cheddar cheese gives the casserole a richer and more flavorful taste.
- Mix ingredients well: Make sure to mix the broccoli and other ingredients thoroughly so that the flavors are well combined.
- Crush crackers evenly: When crushing the crackers, make sure they are even in size so the topping is consistent and bakes evenly.
- Cover if browning too fast: If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover the casserole with foil to prevent it from burning while the inside finishes cooking.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
Storing in the Fridge: Place leftovers in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezing: Wrap the casserole tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
