Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook broccoli in the boiling water for 1 minute. Drain, and set aside.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, mix the cheese, cream of mushroom soup, salt, and pepper. Stir until cheese is melted. Add the broccoli, stirring to coat.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Mix in the croutons, and sprinkle over the broccoli mixture.
  6. (*or omit the butter and croutons and add crushed Goldfish/crushed cheez-it crackers*)
  7. Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the topping is browned and broccoli is tender.
