"This is a recipe I got from a friend who said it was an old family tradition from his southern roots. I absolutely LOVE this casserole and would eat it every day if I could. It's not exactly "healthy" but it does have broccoli in it so it does contain a vegetable. Definitely not something you can indulge in every day, but definitely worth treating yourself to every now and then."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cut the stem off of the head of broccoli and cut into florets. Boil florets in a pot of water until they are tender. Drain and place florets in an 8 x 8 casserole dish sprayed with pam.
Step 2
In a medium bowl mix cream of mushroom soup with mayonnaise, egg and salt and mix until well blended. Pour mixture over broccoli and spread evenly so it is well coated. Sprinkle on cracker crumbs if desired, then sprinkle on cheese distributing it evenly over top.
Step 3
Bake covered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until cheese is melted and browned. Let sit five to ten minutes to finish cooking before serving. This can easily be made into a main dish by adding shredded cooked chicken in before cooking.
