Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, thawed broccoli flowerets, milk, shredded Cheddar cheese, and yellow mustard; mix until well combined.

Transfer the mixture into a 1-1/2 quart casserole dish.

In a separate bowl, mix dry bread crumbs with melted butter; stir to combine.

Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, until hot and bubbling with a golden crust on top.
