A delightful casserole combining broccoli, cheese, and a crispy Ritz cracker topping.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Cook the broccoli in boiling water until tender, then drain.
Don't overcook the broccoli; it should still have a slight crunch.
Place the cooked broccoli in a greased casserole dish.
Spread the broccoli evenly for consistent layering.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then stir in the cheese until smooth.
Stir constantly to prevent the cheese from burning.
Pour the cheese sauce over the broccoli in the casserole dish.
Ensure the broccoli is evenly coated with the sauce.
Crush the Ritz crackers and sprinkle them over the top.
For a finer topping, use a food processor to crush the crackers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until the topping is golden brown.
Keep an eye on the topping to avoid burning.
