BROCCOLI CHEESE CASSEROLE 
4 bags (12 oz) broccoli
about 3 sticks butter (or your preference)
1 pound Velveeta cheese
2 stacks of Ritz Crackers

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 X 13-inch baking dish.

Cook broccoli according to directions on the package. Let it drain for 25 minutes in a colander (stir after you cook to get water out).

On stove, melt all the cheese with 1 stick of butter. Pour mixture with broccoli into a big bowl. Mix and stir completely. After you mix the broccoli with the cheese pour in a 9x13 dish.

In Microwave, melt remaining 2 sticks of butter. Mix that butter in a bowl with Ritz Crackers crumbs. (Mash the crumbs before putting them in the bowl.) Spread over top of broccoli in a 9x13 dish.

Cook, uncovered, at 350°F for 20-30 minutes (depends on the oven you have. Some cook faster than others).

This recipe uses far too much butter for our taste. Not very heart healthy. Very fattening.
