  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup crushed crackers or breadcrumbs for topping
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. Prepare the Broccoli:

If using fresh broccoli, steam the florets until just tender, about 5-7 minutes. If using frozen broccoli, thaw and drain well.

3. Make the Cheese Sauce:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, mayonnaise, chopped onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

4. Assemble the Casserole:

Add the broccoli florets to the cheese mixture and stir to coat evenly. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

5. Add the Topping:

In a small bowl, mix the crushed crackers or breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

6. Bake the Casserole:

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this creamy, cheesy delight as a side dish to your favorite meal!
