Broccoli Casserole

People always love this recipe! It's so easy to make, a great side dish & goes fast!

2 Bags frozen broccoli
2 cans cream of broccoli soup
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise (I use hellmans, think other mayo's are too strong in flavor & overpower the dish)
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup bread crumbs (Seasoned & panko)
6 butter Crackers, crushed
2 tbsp melted butter
Dash worcestershire sauce
Salt/pepper

Cook Broccoli as directed on package. Drain. Spray 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray. In a bowl, combine: soup, cheese, mayo, milk, eggs, worcestershire sauce & season to taste with salt/pepper. Mix cooked broccoli into this mixture & stir. Put broccoli mixture in to baking pan. Mix butter, bread crumbs & crushed crackers in bowl then spread evenly over top of broccoli mixture. Bake 350 degrees until top is lightly browned & broccoli mixture is bubbly. Enjoy~
