Top the casserole off with the crushed crackers, then top with the diced butter.

I made this for the first time this Thanksgiving and it was the BEST Broccoli Casserole I have ever had. Every recipe I have used has been amazing. Everybody loves them. Especially the Corn Pudding.

Delicious! I didn't have the crackers so I used French's crispy fried onions on top with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese :)

My grandkids are allergic to eggs. Can I use a different binder instead? I really want to make this but they can’t eat it as is. I was thinking maybe milk or extra mayo?

Can I use 1/2 c sour cream and 1/2 c mayo vs. 1 cup of Mayo?
Thanks-

Cheesy Broccoli Casserole Casserole

broccoli florets

condensed cream of mushroom soup ((10.75 oz))

mayo

eggs (lightly beaten)

salt (or

½ teaspoon pepper (or

cheddar cheese (divided)

Ritz crackers (about 24 crackers, crushed)

butter (melted)

Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9 X 9 baking dish or a 2.5 -quart casserole dish with nonstick spray.

Cook broccoli in a steamer basket over water or in a saucepan with water for 5 minutes (or desired doneness). When cooking broccoli in the saucepan with water, I use ½ cup of water to cook the broccoli.

Frozen Broccoli: If using frozen broccoli, follow directions on the package, drain water, and ensure broccoli is not frozen.

In a large bowl, add eggs and lightly beat. Then soup, mayo, salt, pepper, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese, and mix until combined.

Add in broccoli and mix until combined.

Add broccoli mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly into the bottom.

Sprinkle on the remaining cheddar cheese.

In a small bowl, combine crushed crackers and melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the cheese layer.

Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown. Let stand for 10 to set minutes before serving

Just made this for the family and they loved it.  It wasn't swimming is sauce - just a nice coating, and the cheese and cracker topping just finished it off.  Easy to follow directions.
