My sister-in-law Jane and I both love this casserole. There are a lot of different types of broccoli casseroles, but this one’s my favorite. The cheese cracker topping makes it unique.

Two more recipes from Blue Ribbon Kitchen for AARP members to try:
My mommy used to make this one. It was so good. She baked the cake on an old coal cook stove. She cooked the caramel glaze in an iron skillet on top of the stove.
I’ve always liked making these for bake sales because they’re easy to make, but be aware — they go quickly!
