Broccoli Casserole

I follow "Farm Cooking with Nan" on FaceBook.  I enjoy her recipes so much that I knew I had to order her cookbook.  She is a sweet Christian lady who has a passion for Christ and cooking. If you are looking for some delicious recipes, I recommend that you purchase her cookbook.  I made her Broccoli Casserole for Easter dinner this year and it was a hit.  I have made it many times since. 

1 cup mayonnaise

1 can cream of chicken soup (or mushroom soup)

3/4 cup chopped onion (or 1 tsp onion powder)

2 eggs, beaten

1/4 cup butter, melted

1/2 tsp salt 

1/2 tsp pepper

2 cups sharp cheddar cheese

2 - 12 oz bags steamed broccoli

Topping:

3/4 cup butter, melted

1 1/2 sleeves (or 5 oz) Ritz crackers, crushed

Steam the broccoli according to package directions.  Set aside.

Mix mayo, soup, onion, eggs, 1/4 cup of melted butter, salt, pepper and cheese.

Add the broccoli and stir just enough to combine.

Pour into a greased 2 1/2 quart baking dish.

In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup butter and the crushed crackers.  Sprinkle over the top of the broccoli mixture.

Bake at 350F for 45-50 minutes or until hot in the center.

Makes 8-10 servings
