Ingredients
- 1 10.5-ounce can of condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup of mayonnaise
- 1 large egg beaten
- ¼ cup finely chopped onion
- 3 10-ounce packages of frozen broccoli florets
- 8 ounces of shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A dash of paprika
Instructions
- Gather all of your ingredients and place them into individual glass bowls for easy access and organization.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly butter a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup, mayonnaise, beaten egg, and chopped onions until the mixture is fully blended and smooth.
- Transfer the frozen broccoli florets to a large mixing bowl, breaking them apart if they’re clumped together. Pour the soup mixture over the broccoli and stir until everything is well coated. Add the shredded sharp Cheddar cheese and mix thoroughly. Spread the combined mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, then season the top with salt, pepper, and a dash of paprika.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the cheese is fully melted and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, serve, and enjoy!
