Broccoli Cheese Casserole

I had a request for the Broccoli Cheese Casserole and so here it is!

Ingredients:

4-6 cups of frozen broccoli (I buy the frozen broccoli at Sam's Club and then just lightly fill a 9x13 baking dish) (I prefer the broccoli at Sam's because it is mainly broccoli tops rather than stems) you can use fresh broccoli but you will want to make sure that you prepare the broccoli so it is not stringy once it is cooked

1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup mayo
1 egg
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 sleeve Ritz crackers
1 stick of butter

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Next, cook the broccoli. Like I said before I put the frozen broccoli in a 9x13 baking dish and then put a few tablespoons of water in the dish to cook the broccoli. I put the dish in the microwave and cook on HIGH for about 6 minutes. You want the broccoli to be cooked but NOT mushy! (If the broccoli is large, I cut it up after it is cooked)
3. While the broccoli is cooking I mix the cream of mushroom, mayo, egg and half of the shredded cheese together.
4. Once the broccoli is cooked, drain the water from the baking dish and pour the mixture over the broccoli. Mix and then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
5. To make the topping you will melt the stick of butter in the microwave and then combine with the finely crushed sleeve of crackers (I put the crackers in a Ziploc bag and then let the kids go to town. Once crushed I pour the melted butter in the bag and mix)
6. Sprinkle topping on top of casserole. Cover with aluminum foil and cook for 30 minutes
