Ingredients
- 20 ounces broccoli florets or 2 packages (10 oz each frozen chopped broccoli,)
- thawed and drained (8 cups cooked)
- ⅔ cup light sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 ½ cups grated part-skim sharp cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
- Homemade cream of mushroom soup substitute (see below)
- 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
- 22 crushed buttery crackers (such as Ritz about 2 1/2 ounces or 1 helping cup)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup finely chopped mushrooms
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup low-sodium broth (chicken or vegetable)
- 1 cup fat free milk (or unsweetened dairy-free milk)
- 1 large chicken bouillon such as Knorr
Steps
-
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish with vegetable oil spray.
-
Steam broccoli until tender crisp, I like to do this in the microwave 2 minutes or on the stove with 3 tablespoons water 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Prepare Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup: Heat oil in a pot over medium heat and sauté mushrooms and garlic until softened. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring. Gradually add broth, bouillon and milk, whisking until smooth and thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sour cream and let it cool.
-
In a large mixing bowl, mix the cooked broccoli with mayo, cheddar cheese, homemade soup, and beaten eggs until well combined.
-
Assemble Casserole: Pour the broccoli mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
-
Sprinkle 1 cup of crushed buttery crackers evenly over the top. Spritz with oil.
-
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 to 35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cracker topping is golden brown.
