Paula Deen Broccoli Baked Casserole Recipe
Are you looking for a cozy, delicious meal? This Paula Deen Broccoli Baked Casserole Recipe is a true classic.
Equipment
- Baking Dish
- Large mixing bowl
- Small saucepan
- Whisk
- Measuring cups
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Broccoli Florets
- 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Can Cream Of Mushroom Soup
- 1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1/4 Cup Butter
- 1 Sleeve Ritz Crackers
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit first. Grease your baking dish with oil or butter. This stops the cheese from sticking to the sides.
- Steam your broccoli in a pot until it is tender. Drain all the water out very carefully. Chop the broccoli into small, bite-sized pieces now.
- Whisk the eggs in your large mixing bowl. Add the soup, mayonnaise, and melted butter. Stir them until the mixture looks very smooth.
- Fold the chopped broccoli and cheese into the bowl. Mix everything gently so the broccoli stays whole. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish.
- Crush the crackers into a fine, sandy texture. Sprinkle them evenly over the top of the mix. Add a little extra melted butter on the crackers.
- Place the dish in the center of the oven. Bake it for about 45 minutes until golden. The center should be firm and not jiggly.
Notes
- Use fresh broccoli for a much firmer bite.
- Do not overcook the broccoli before baking it.
- Grate your own cheese for a smoother melt.
- Crush the crackers just before you use them.
- Let the casserole rest for five minutes after baking.
- Add a pinch of black pepper for extra zest.
- Check the top often so it does not burn.
