BROCCOLI CASSEROLE
This broccoli casserole is one of our favorite side dishes for the holidays or just anytime. This recipe was handed down from my niece many years ago. We lost her to cancer a couple of years back and I always think about her when I prepare this dish. It’s such a simple casserole but SO good! I’ve taken it to so many holiday gatherings and always end up handing out the recipe.
Ingredients Needed for Broccoli Casserole
Frozen broccoli cuts, cooked according to package directions
Butter or margarine, melted
Ritz crackers, crumbled
Velveeta cheese, cut in chunks
Salt
Pepper
Recipe Notes: Some people don’t like using Velveeta cheese and you could replace it with another kind of cheddar cheese. However, I don’t think it’s as good. Everyone that has ever had this loves it if they like broccoli.
