Notes

If you don't like the crunchy texture of the broccoli, feel free to steam it for a few minutes before adding it to this casserole.
To prep this recipe in advance, simply mix all of the ingredients together (except for the melted butter and crackers) and place them in your casserole dish. Add an airtight lid, then store it in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours. When ready to make, add the cracker mixture on top!
