4 bags (12 oz) broccoli
about 3 sticks butter (or your preference)
1 pound Velveeta cheese
2 stacks of Ritz Crackers

Cook broccoli according to directions on the package. Let it drain for 25 minutes in a colander (stir after you cook to get water out).
On stove, melt all the cheese with 1 stick of butter. Pour mixture with broccoli into a big bowl. Mix and stir completely. After you mix the broccoli with the cheese pour in a 9×13 dish.
In Microwave, melt remaining 2 sticks of butter. Mix that butter in a bowl with Ritz Crackers crumbs. (Mash the crumbs before putting them in the bowl.) Spread over top of broccoli in a 9×13 dish.
Cook, uncovered, at 350°F for 20-30 minutes (depends on the oven you have. Some cook faster than others).
