Ingredients

4 cups chopped fresh broccoli florets
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 large eggs beaten
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 sleeve Ritz crackers (crushed, about 1½ cups)
4 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large pot of boiling water, cook the broccoli florets for 3 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add the cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, sour cream, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, beaten eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Add the broccoli into the creamy mixture and stir until it's evenly coated and combined.
Transfer the broccoli mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter. Mix well until the crackers are evenly moistened.
Sprinkle the buttery cracker crumbs evenly over the top of the broccoli casserole.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the cracker topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
