Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups of frozen broccoli florets
  • 3/4 of a 32 oz block of Velveeta Cheese
  • 2 sleeves of Ritz crackers about 60 crackers
  • 1 stick of butter I used salted
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • 2 tsp of garlic powder divided
  • 2 tsp of cracked black pepper divided

Instructions
 

  • Defrost the broccoli florets and steam only for about 2-3 minutes just to take the frost away in the microwave. You don’t want them cooked all the way before baking. Pat the broccoli dry.
  • Add the broccoli to a baking dish. season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Top with Velveeta Cheese slices.
  • In a sauce pan add a stick of butter and melt on low heat. Crush the Ritz crackers and add to the sauce pan. season with pepper and garlic powder. Continuously move the ritz in the pan with the butter until its toasty brown.
  • Once the crackers are browned, top the casserole with the buttery Ritz crumbs. Cover with foil and bake at 350° F for about 35 minutes. Then uncover and bake another 20 minutes or so, or until the cheese is melted, browned, and bubbly! Make it!
