Ingredients
- 24 ounces Broccoli cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese more or less to taste
- 1 ½ teaspoons Garlic 'n Herb Seasoning
- Salt and Pepper to taste.
- 32 Ritz Crackers one sleeve, crushed
- 2 Tablespoons Butter or margarine
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350-degrees.
- Chop the broccoli into bite-size pieces. Cook the broccoli in the microwave with a small amount of water for 3 - 5 minutes. Cook until just tender, not mushy. Drain.
- In a large bowl combine sour cream, half of cheese, garlic 'n herb seasoning, and salt and pepper. Stir well to combine. Add drained broccoli and stir. Put broccoli into a casserole dish that has been spray with non-stick spray.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the broccoli.
- Crush one sleeve of Ritz Crackers. Sprinkle the crackers on top of the broccoli mixture. Put small dabs of butter all over crackers.
- Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown, about 25-35 minutes.
Notes
Broccoli measures about 6 cups before microwaving, 4–5 cups after.
To crush the Ritz crackers, place them in a plastic bag and crush with your hands or a rolling pin.
Store leftover casserole covered, in the refrigerator, for 3 to 4 days. Easily reheats in microwave, but the topping will lose some of its crispy texture.
