Crock Pot CHEESY BROCCOLI BAKE
2 packages (10 oz. each) frozen chopped broccoli, partially thawed
1 can (10-3/4 oz.) condensed cream of celery soup, undiluted
1-1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup crushed butter-flavored crackers (about 25)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
In a large bowl, combine broccoli, soup, 1 cup cheese, onion, Worcestershire sauce and pepper. Pour into a greased slow cooker. Sprinkle crackers on top; dot with butter. Cover and cook on high for 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cook 10 minutes longer or until the cheese is melted.
Crock Pot Cooking Tip
When using frozen foods in a crock pot recipe, thawing prior to adding them to the crock pot is a must because you risk damage to your ceramic crock pot liner. If you must cook a frozen product, be sure to add one cup of warm liquid to prevent sudden changes in temperature. If you have a metal slow cooker you may add frozen items but increase cooking time by several hours.
