Recipe View Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to thicken slightly.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of garlic powder to the cream sauce.
If you prefer a sharper flavor, you can substitute half of the cream cheese with shredded cheddar cheese.
To prevent a soggy crust, make sure to drain the broccoli thoroughly after steaming. You can also toast the crushed crackers in a dry skillet for a few minutes before adding them to the casserole.
