Ingredients

4 tbsp Dan-O’s Original Seasoning
2 pounds of fresh broccoli
8 oz of Velveeta cheese (1/2 block from a 16 oz block)
2 sleeves of Ritz crackers
1 stick butter

Let’s Make It!

While the broccoli is steaming, preheat your oven to 350°F.
Cut the broccoli florets away from the stems. Aim for bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Place the broccoli in a steamer basket over the boiling water and steam for about 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is halfway cooked.
Once steamed, transfer the broccoli into a 13x9 inch deep dish casserole. Spread it out evenly.
Using a knife, chop the broccoli into smaller pieces.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Dan-O’s Original Seasoning generously over the broccoli.
Add the Velveeta cheese by thinly slicing the Velveeta cheese and layer it evenly over the seasoned broccoli.
Place the Ritz crackers in a zip-lock bag and crush them until they are finely crushed.
In a pan, melt the butter over medium temperature and mix it with the crushed crackers. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of Dan-O’s Seasoning to the mixture and stir.
Evenly spread the cracker mixture over the top of the casserole.
Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the topping is golden brown.
Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as a delicious side dish or main course.
