Ingredients

• 2 sleeves buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®), crushed
• 2 (14 ounce) bags frozen broccoli florets, thawed
• 2 pounds processed cheese food (such as Velveeta ®), sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
• 1.5 (10.5 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbling, about 20 minutes.

Step 3

Place broccoli into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Drizzle 1 tablespoon melted butter over top, then add condensed soup. Stir until broccoli is coated with soup. Pack lightly to form a flat surface. Layer 1/2 of the cheese slices over broccoli mixture; set remaining cheese aside.

Step 4

Remove from the oven and stir to blend melted cheese into the broccoli mixture. Layer with remaining cheese slices, sprinkle with crackers, and drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter.

Step 5

Return to the oven and bake until cheese on top begins to melt, about 15 minutes.

Step 6

Let casserole sit before serving until it thickens slightly, about 15 minutes.
