Directions
Broccoli, Cheese & Rice Casserole, This isn’t the typical back-of-the-can recipe No gooey condensed soup, no lifeless frozen broccoli, no sit-on-your-shelf-forever cheese product This is an irresistible casserole delicious for a weeknight supper or worthy of a dinner party It is wonderful served along with most anything chicken, ham, beef, pork chops, whatever!, This was a great recipe! We are trying to eat healthier at our house and don’t want to use the canned, processed foods like cream of ? and processed cheese, so this was a great recipe for us The only changes I made were to use brown rice instead of white, and instead of the plain cheddar and cayenne, used a Habanero cheddar and omitted the cayenne It was quite awesome! Thanks, Alan, I will make this again And by the way, I am just across the Okeechobee from you!, This was really good Made for a Christmas gathering Thanks Update: froze leftovers in 2 cup increments and used for making crock pot broccoli cheese rice soup Just added some chicken broth, a bit more broccoli and some Campbell’s broccoli cheese soup Really nice!
