Broccoli and Cheese Casserole

This is one of Paula Deen's recipes and it'll really make you wanna slap yo momma! haha just kidding don't do that but seriously this is delicious and I was pretty proud of myself! And if you know my husband and how he HATES vegetables ESPECIALLY broccoli and he ate not one but TWO helpings of this stuff so you know it's good then! Lol! I had found another recipe that called for chicken in this but our water was down where I couldn't run hot water of the bag of chicken to thaw it out and dummy me forgot to put the chicken in the fridge to thaw overnight so I went with no chicken in it and just cooked balsamic/brown sugar chicken once the water cut back on and I also made crushed potatoes (those recipes to follow this one) :) Anyway, here's the recipe:

Broccoli and Cheese Casserole:


Ingredients:
- 1 bag frozen broccoli
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 1 cup mayonnaise
-  1 can cream of mushroom soup (it called for one of the small cans but all I had was a family size can and honestly, it was better with the family size)
- 1 sleeve Ritz crackers (crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese


Directions:
- Preheat over to 350 degrees
- Spray your 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray
- Crumble up a sleeve of Ritz crackers (I was a big dummy and wasn't sure if I was going to use a whole sleeve so I took a few crackers at a time and crumbled them with my CLEAN hands lol but your best bet is to keep them in the sleeve and beat them on the counter. Takes out frustrations AND is mess free if you're careful lol)
- Chop up broccoli in fine pieces (this is where my handy dandy Pampered Chef chopper comes in)
- In a large bowl, combine mayo, beaten egg, cream of mushroom soup, cheddar cheese and broccoli and mix well
- Spread mixture in your baking dish
- Top with crumbled Ritz crackers
- Pour melted butter over Ritz crackers
- Bake for 35 minutes or until crackers are golden brown

I think next time I'm going to add some onion and chicken and see how good that it because this alone was deliciously awesome!

Enjoy and please let me know how you like it :)

I was unable to get an after picture due to dinner being late and we were hungry lol
