Cracker Barrel is one of my all-time favorite restaurants to go to and I love almost everything on their menu. I have a couple of dishes that I love ordering and one of them is broccoli cheese casserole and I love sharing it with the whole family.

We enjoy eating it and since it’s a crowd favorite, I decided to give it a try and make my own version at home. After checking multiple video tutorials, I settled on this easy and simple copycat recipe by Stephanie Manley on YouTube.

Ingredients for Broccoli Cheese Casserole:

1 can of cream of chicken soup
16 ounces of whole milk
16 ounces of American cheese
8 ounces of broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 cups of cooked rice
1 cup of Colby cheese, shredded
32 Ritz crackers or 1 standard sleeve, crushed
4 ounces of butter, melted

How to Make Broccoli Cheese Casserole:

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F, then place a large pot on a stove over medium-low heat, and add in the cream of chicken soup, whole milk, and American cheese.

Step 2

Allow them to cook while stirring occasionally until melted, then add the broccoli, and cook them for an additional 8 minutes. Turn off the heat, then remove the pot from the stove, and set it aside.

Step 3

Place the cooked rice on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, then spread it in an even layer, and pour the broccoli cheese mixture over the top evenly.

Step 4

Sprinkle the shredded Colby cheese on top, then in a small bowl, mix the crushed crackers and melted butter until well combined, and sprinkle them over the cheese layer.

Step 5

Place the casserole in the preheated oven, then allow it to bake for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the crackers turn golden brown, and serve. Enjoy!
