Steam broccoli in boiling water for 8-10 minutes or until fork tender. Drain well and roughly chop into bite-size pieces.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together broccoli florets, broccoli soup, cheddar cheese soup, mayonnaise, butter, salt, granulated garlic, lemon pepper, onion powder, eggs and green onion.
Add 1 cup shredded cheese, mix until fully combined. Pour broccoli mixture into the prepared dish. Sprinkle reserved 1 cup cheese on top.
In a medium size mixing bowl, toss together melted butter with Ritz crackers. Sprinkle evenly on top.
Place into the oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until bubbly and lightly golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes, then serve.

You'll need around 2 1/2-3 pounds of fresh broccoli florets or 2 pounds of frozen broccoli florets for this recipe. (not broccoli cuts)
Drain the broccoli well after steaming. If there's too much liquid, the casserole could be watery.
You could swap out half of the broccoli with cooked cauliflower for a broccoli-cauliflower casserole.
You can assemble this broccoli cheese casserole one day in advance. Cover it and chill in the refrigerator. Top with the buttered Ritz cracker crumbs just before baking. Allow 15 minutes or so on the counter to warm a bit before baking.
