The Ultimate Broccoli Casserole

3 12-14oz bags of frozen "chopped" broccoli (thawed and drained--squeeze out all excess water)
3 large eggs
1 1.4oz package of Knox dried vegetable mix (used for dips and soups) 
1 cup mayo
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk (I use Evaporated Milk)
2 8oz bags of sharp cheddar
2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
1 tsp of kosher salt or 1/2 tsp of table salt
1 6oz container of French's fried onion toppers (I buy the cheddar)
11x13 baking pan

Preheat oven to 350 and spray baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside
Mix in large bowl.. broccoli, eggs, dried vegetable mix, mayo, sour cream,  milk , 1-8oz bag of cheddar cheese, pepper and salt and mix until combined and pour into greased baking dish. Top with other 8oz bag of sharp cheddar cheese and cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 mins.  After 25 mins, take aluminum foil off and add the entire can of onion toppers and place back into oven for 10 mins. 
*Best if served hot
*Recently made this for some picky eaters and it was the first thing gone, hope you enjoy!!

Tips:
*If you are going to cover this dish and take it somewhere, lay a paper towel or two on top before you put a lid on it so that the onion toppers do not get soggy
*If you do not like sharp cheddar you can substitute with another cheese like a 3 cheese blend
