This is a must on every holiday. Broccoli cheese casserole with a crunchy Ritz cracker topping is just wow! My family loves this so much I have to make this even on normal days! And my pickiest eaters enjoy this delicious casserole, so that’s a big plus for me.
There are many variations you can do. Although I like this casserole so much the way it is, I am always tempted to try different variants. Like making this with cauliflower or green beans instead of broccoli. Or instead of cream of chicken, I use cream of mushroom to alter the flavour. The secret is not to be afraid to explore.
