A delightful casserole combining tender broccoli with creamy cheese and a crispy cracker topping.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Cook the frozen broccoli in a saucepan with water until tender, then drain well.
Draining thoroughly prevents excess water from making the casserole soggy.
In the same saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, then add the cheddar cheese and stir until smooth and creamy.
Stir constantly to prevent the cheese from sticking or burning.
In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the crumbled crackers to create the topping.
Use your hands or a rolling pin to crumble the crackers evenly.
Spray a baking dish with cooking spray, then layer half of the cracker mixture on the bottom.
Press the crackers lightly to form a uniform base.
Spread the broccoli and cheese mixture over the cracker layer.
Ensure an even layer for consistent baking.
Top with the remaining cracker mixture.
Spread the topping evenly for a crispy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Keep an eye on the casserole to avoid over-browning.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious cheesy broccoli casserole.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving for easier slicing.
