Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine topping ingredients and set aside.
Place broccoli in boiling water and cook until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes for fresh or 3 minutes for frozen. Drain very well. Place broccoli in a 2½ – 3 quart casserole dish.
Add the cheese loaf to the pot where the broccoli was cooked, and melt over medium heat. Pour melted cheese evenly over broccoli.
In a small bowl, mix the topping ingredients together. Spread over top of the broccoli and cheese.
Bake 20-25 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
notes
Use frozen broccoli florets to save time!
Cheese loaf can also be melted in the microwave if desired. Use 30 second intervals and stir until smooth.
Prep everything in advance, cover, and refrigerate. Top with the cheese cracker crumb topping and bake!
Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container for up to 3 days. Freeze portions in zippered bags for up to 4 weeks.
