Use ½ cup plain Greek yogurt and ½ cup of mayonnaise.

Swap the crackers for regular or seasoned breadcrumbs, or Panko breadcrumbs mixed with a couple of tablespoons of melted butter or cheese cracker

If you'd like to make a double batch, bake it in two separate baking dishes instead of trying to fit it all in a 9×13-inch dish.

Stir in a cup of cooked rice to the broccoli mixture before baking.

Swap the dried minced onion for ¼ cup finely diced onion.

Add a cup of cooked diced chicken or rotisserie chicken.
