Tips:
- Prep your ingredients ahead of time: Chop your broccoli, celery, and onion before starting the casserole. This will save you time and make the cooking process go more smoothly.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your casserole will taste. Look for broccoli that is deep green and has tightly closed florets. The Ritz crackers should be fresh and not stale.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli is best when it is cooked just until tender. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Be generous with the cheese: Cheese is what makes this casserole so delicious. Don't be afraid to use a lot of it. A good rule of thumb is to use at least 1 cup of cheese per 1 pound of broccoli.
- Let the casserole cool slightly before serving: This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Broccoli Ritz Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover broccoli. With its creamy cheese sauce, crunchy Ritz cracker topping, and tender broccoli, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
