Our family has been making Broccoli Cheese Casserole for over 30 years! I was first introduced to it by my Aunt Barbara 30 years ago during our yearly Thanksgiving get together. As a small child, broccoli was of course not on the top of my list of favorite foods, but this dish won me over with it’s cheesy deliciousness.

We don’t make it up north for Thanksgiving anymore unfortunately, but I have continued the tradition of making this yummy Broccoli Cheese Casserole for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year for the last 10 or 11 years. It’s a family favorite, and it just doesn’t feel like a holiday meal without it! Even our kids will eat it, so you know it’s good!

Beat the eggs in a large bowl first, then all all of the other ingredients (except the broccoli and crackers). Stir until just combined.

Layer the broccoli in a 9×13 baking dish. Or, if your bowl is large enough, you can stir it into the mix first!

Spoon mixture over the frozen broccoli.

Spread out mixture until the broccoli is completely coated.

Sprinkle the Ritz crackers all over the top. You want them to be crushed finely like breadcrumbs, but they do not have to be completely crushed. Texture is good. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for about 15 minutes more or until the middle is completely cooked through.

Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for about 15 minutes more or until the middle is completely cooked through. Enjoy the cheesy goodness!

I hope you will add Broccoli Cheese Casserole to your family’s Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. I think it will become a favorite for your family too. Enjoy!
