Broccoli Cheese Casserole

I should make this more often. I've forgotten how tasty it is until looking for items to post online. Update: I made this again with fresh broccoli and have to confess it is actually better with frozen.

Ingredients
1 can (10-11 oz) cream soup of your choice
3 - 10 oz pkgs frozen broccoli (best if it's florets, not a lot of stem)
1 - 8 oz pkg shredded cheddar
1 c mayo
1 egg
1/2 c finely chopped onion (white or yellow)
kosher salt
pepper
paprika (optional)

Non-standard supplies
None

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Grease a 9x13 baking dish (spray, margarine, whatever you want)
  3. Beat egg in a small bowl
  4. In a medium bowl, mix soup, egg, mayo and onion
  5. Add salt and pepper (and paprika) to mix as desired.
  6. In a very large bowl, empty broccoli bags and break into pieces. yes, the broccoli is still frozen.
  7. Pour mixture over broccoli.
  8. Add cheese and stir to combine.
  9. Pour contents into baking dish.
  10. Bake for 45 min to 1 hour, until hot and bubbly.

Variations
Top with moistened bread crumbs if desired after 30 minutes. You could use broccoli and cauliflower -- just stick with 30 oz, give or take. You can use colby, monterrey jack or gruyere cheeses (or any combination!)
