My husband and I enjoyed this very yummy broccoli casserole. Quick, easy and had a wonderful rich, comforting creamy sauce. The cracker crumb topping was also a nice crunchy touch. Thank you Haileysgrndma.

Terrific! I used about double the amount of onions listed but made no other changes. It's moist and cheesey and we loved the crunchy cheese cracker crumb topping (I used Cheese Nips brand). Thanx for a great broccoli dish!

Even my picky son liked this casserole! I was surprised myself...it really tastes great! As another poster did I used 1 egg and 3/4 cup mayo since it was all I had and it still tasted excellent! This is going to be added to my regular weekly meals ...thanks for sharing this recipe!

My mom has been making a similar recipe for years and now that I make it for get-togethers, everyone eats it up!! I usually double the cheese and reserve 1/2 for the sauce and 1/2 for on top. I also use 1 T of dried minced onions instead of fresh grated. And for crackers, I usually just use one sleeve of Ritz, then dot with butter before baking. Very easy, very calorie-laden, but a very big crowd pleaser. YUM!
