Cheesy Broccoli Bake!

This is a really good broccoli casserole that is just a bit different.  It has an egg and mayonnaise in it so the texture is  little lighter and fluffier.   We really enjoy this for a change now and then.  This is great to take to potlucks and things like that also.  It seems that folks love a good broccoli casserole!  Here is what you will need for this:

2 (10 oz.) pkgs. chopped frozen broccoli, cooked according to pkg. directions and drained well (can also use the same amount of cooked and drained fresh broccoli)

1 egg, beaten

1 small onion, grated

1 cup mayonnaise

1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided

1 (10 oz.) can of cream of mushroom soup

1/2 soup can of water

1/4 tsp. black pepper

1/4 tsp. seasoned salt

1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed (or any buttery cracker)

4 Tbs. melted butter (1/2 stick)

In a mixing bowl, mix the egg, onion, mayonnaise, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, mushroom soup, 1/2 can of water, pepper, and seasoned salt.   Add in the broccoli that has been well drained and mix.  

Pour into a 2 quart casserole dish that has been buttered or sprayed with nonstick spray.  Sprinkle the top with the other 1/2 cup cheese.   Mix the cracker crumbs with the melted butter and sprinkle evenly over the top. 

Place in a 350 degree oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the top is just starting to brown and it's bubbly around the edges!
