Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Cooking Spoon
  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Measuring Cup
  • 1 Qt Sauce Pan
  • 1 Qt Casserole Baking Dish with Lid ( I prefer CorningWare)

Ingredients

  • 10.8 Oz Birdseye Steamfresh Broccoli Florets (in the frozen aisle)
  • 6-8 Oz Velveeta Cheese
  • ½ Sleeve Ritz Crackers
  • 4 Oz Heavy Cream or Milk (your preference)

Instructions

  • Cook the Birdseye frozen broccoli in the microwave per the package instructions.
  • While the broccoli is cooking, cut 6-8 oz of Velvetta cheese into small cubes and add to a saucepan. Pour in ½ cup (4 oz) heavy cream or milk and cook slowly over medium heat to make a cheese sauce. Be sure to constantly stir, so it does not burn. Remove from the heat.
  • After the broccoli is cooled, cut the florets into smaller, more bite-size pieces and add to a mixing bowl.
  • Pour the cheese sauce over the broccoli and gently stir to combine thoroughly.
  • Next, crush ½ sleeve of Ritz crackers and add to the broccoli and cheese sauce. Mix well.
  • Pour the Broccoli Au Gratin mixture into a greased casserole dish. Cover with a lid and bake in a preheated 350° oven for 25 minutes. Enjoy!
