A full printable version of this recipe with ingredient measurements is available at the bottom of this post.

STEP ONE: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 casserole dish and set aside.

STEP TWO: Blanch frozen broccoli in boiling salted water for 1 minute, then drain and set aside until needed.

STEP THREE: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the velveeta, mayo, sour cream, butter, garlic powder, dehydrated onion, and salt and pepper. Stir frequently until the mixture is smooth and melted, then set aside.

STEP FOUR: In a small bowl, stir together the crushed Ritz crackers and the melted butter.

STEP FIVE: Add the broccoli to the prepared casserole dish.

STEP SIX: Pour the cheese sauce on top and mix until all the broccoli is coated.

STEP SEVEN: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the broccoli mixture, then add the Ritz mixture on top.

STEP EIGHT: Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the casserole is bubbling and the Ritz crackers are golden brown.

STEP NINE: Allow the Ritz broccoli casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving

The most important part of this dish is that the cheesy mixture gets melted and bubbly. And of course, we want the Ritz cracker crust to be golden brown and crispy!

I find that 20 minutes in the oven is the perfect amount of time to get the job done. If you check on your casserole and find the Ritz crust isn’t quite golden yet, leave it in for another few minutes.
