Broccoli Rice Casserole is a hearty main dish that contains broccoli and chicken in a creamy cheese sauce.
This family favorite is easy to make with simple ingredients.
If desired, omit the chicken and serve as a side dish (popular with holiday meals).
MY INSPIRATION
I discovered the original recipe on Allrecipes. However, I added my own twists to create this heart side or main dish. Used regular rice instead of instant. Used milk instead of water and shredded a block of cheddar cheese instead of using American.
COOKING TIPS
This recipe calls for 2 boxes (10.8 ounces each) of frozen chopped broccoli. Prepare according to instructions. Use fresh/cooked broccoli if desired.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
TOP WITH SHREDDED CHEDDAR CHEESE
Sprinkle top of prepared casserole with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes OR until dish is bubbly, and cheese is melted.
Watch closely to prevent burning.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Serve as a main dish.
Also makes a good side dish (minus chicken). Popular with holiday dinners.
Pairs well with a green salad and Homemade Self-Rising Cornbread.
ENJOY!
