Broccoli casserole (just a couple things different from most)

 

2 (10 oz) packages frozen, partially cooked (al dente) and drained broccoli florets

1 cup mayonnaise

½ cup chopped onions

½ cup chopped pecans

1-1/4  cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

1 (10 3/4 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

2 lightly beaten eggs

2 cups crushed buttery crackers

4 tablespoons melted butter

 

 

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Spray a 13 by 9 inch baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine broccoli, mayo, cream of mushroom soup, a cup of the cheese, the pecans and eggs. Mix well with a metal spoon. Place the mixture in the prepared baking dish. Top with the crushed crackers, sprinkle the remainder of the cheese atop that and pour the melted butter evenly over the crackers. Bake for 35 minutes or until bubbly, set and browned.

Whenever I add Mayo as an ingredient in casseroles it breaks down.  It tastes ok, but isn't appealing looking.  What am I doing wrong?


@Cavime 

I am not sure what you are doing wrong but want to ask what other ingredients are in it that might create a chemical reaction that causes that.  What brand mayonnaise do you use?  What recipe are you making?  Just trying to ascertain what is causing your problem.  Not being nosy, just want to help.

Re: Mayo in casseroles..trouble!

Could it be a dairy ingredient that is breaking down, not the mayo?  I'm just thinking how milk breaks down in scalloped potatoes.  Name Already Taken doesn't have dairy in it except for the cheese.  I've seen several recipes lately that have mayo, sour cream and cream cheese in them.  No I haven't tried one, that many calories would kill my conscience.

Oh, Dear.  Why did you put that recipe on here?  I will have to make it now.  I love lobster, crab and shrimp.  They are my T-bone, filet and sirloin.  I am a surf and DH is a turf.

The Chinese Buffet in our city closed a few years ago and their seafood recipe was always my favorite. I do not care for meat very much so this is my go to every few months. 
Every time I make it there is only a small amount,if any, left.

I usually get the Transocean brand and it is always so fresh. They had it buy one get one free last week. That is a good way to keep a few extra packages in the freezer for the next time.

This recipe tastes exactly like the Chinese Buffet did. I get the flake kind of crab and lobster but two of each flavor instead of one of each works great too. The shrimp blends well with them. I put mine in a Corningware shallow dish and add 1 cup of cheese on top instead of a 1/2 cup. I love my cheese! I brown it well on mine on top also.

Hooe you enjoy this as much as I do. I am a Surf too and my husband is the Turf.

I also take a fork and shred the pieces of crab as it picks up the flavor more.
