Broccoli Casserole…

Yummy and cheesy way to get kids to eat broccoli!
I like to add a cup of chopped cooked chicken breast to make it a one pot meal. Serve tossed salad and French bread.
20 ounces of frozen broccoli, thawed and chopped
1 10-3/4 ounce can of Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup
1 cup of mayonnaise
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup of cheddar cheese, grated
8 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed
2 eggs
16 Ritz crackers, crushed

Mix broccoli, soup, mayonnaise, onion, garlic, eggs and cheeses in a medium bowl until blended.
Pour into buttered pan then sprinkle with crushed crackers, dot top of crackers with butter
