• Step 1

  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Steam the broccoli in a large pot to desired tenderness and set aside.

• Step 2

  Cook the bacon until almost crisp in a 9-10 inch skillet (if you have an oven-proof skillet you can use it to bake the casserole as well). Add the onions and sauté until translucent. Add the mushrooms and sauté until tender.

• Step 3

  Make the roux: add the butter to the skillet and stir until melted. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for about a minute then slowly add the milk or half and half, stirring constantly to incorporate. Cook until thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste.

• Step 4

  Combine the broccoli, mushroom roux, mayonnaise, egg, and 4 ounces (1 cup) of the cheese in a large bowl. Adjust seasonings then pour back into skillet or into an 8-inch baking dish or 9-inch Pyrex pie pan.

• Step 5

  Sprinkle the cracker crumbs and the remaining cheese over the casserole. Bake for 30 minutes and serve while hot.
