Broccoli and Cheese Casserole

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and set the rack to the center position.

While the oven is heating, bring a large pot of water to boil and parboil the frozen broccoli four 4 minutes, then drain and let cool slightly, so as not to curdle the mayonnaise and egg when mixing the casserole ingredients.

Mix broccoli, soup, mayonnaise, egg, and remaining ingredients in a large bowl, reserving 2 tbsp. of cheese and the crackers. Pour the mix into a 1 1/2 to 2 quart casserole dish and sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese and cracker crumbs.

Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Tips

If reheating from the fridge, let it sit on counter for a bit (like 30 minutes) to get closer to room temperature, place in 325 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 25-30 minutes or until hot all the way through. Note: Due to the egg and mayonnaise in this casserole, it does not reheat especially well in the microwave. The mayo will separate and you'll have greasy leftovers. Take the time to reheat it in the oven. Hope you enjoy one of our family favorites and Happy Holidays!
