This is a great side dish. I used a mixture of broccoli and cauliflower instead of all broccoli. The directions were a little vague so I called my mom, who has made this before. Her recipe said to melt 1/4 cup of the margarine with the cheese, pour over the broccoli and then melt the other half to mix with the crumbled crackers (I only used 1/2 cup total margarine). Then I topped the casserole with the buttered crumbs and baked 1/2 hour. I used two of the inner wrapped tubes of crackers--not the whole box, and it was plenty.

This is excellent, and so easy. I cooked my broccoli in the microwave and then added it too the the rest of the ingredients, and baked, so good, the velveeta gets nice and creamy, the nice topping of ritz crackers and butter made a nice little crunch. We loved it!
