Make a comforting, cheesy broccoli casserole using simple ingredients. This recipe is easy to prepare and serves well as a side dish or a main course.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh or frozen broccoli florets
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, plus extra for topping
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup crushed buttery crackers (like Ritz)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. If using fresh broccoli, steam or boil the florets until tender-crisp. If using frozen, thaw them completely and drain off any excess water.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, milk, chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  4. Fold the cooked broccoli florets into the soup mixture until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Pour the broccoli mixture into your prepared baking dish.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the crushed crackers with the melted butter. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the casserole mixture.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute cream of mushroom soup for the cream of chicken soup.
  • If you want more cheese flavor, add 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese to the soup mixture.
  • You can prepare this casserole ahead of time; cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 5 to 10 minutes to the baking time if cooking directly from the refrigerator.
