Description

This Broccoli Cheese Rice Casserole, also known as Green Rice Casserole, is a delicious blend of rice, broccoli, and cheese that's baked to creamy perfection.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets, steamed until tender
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the cooked rice, steamed broccoli, cream of mushroom soup, cheddar cheese, milk, and sour cream. Stir in the chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  4. In a small pan, melt the butter and toss the bread crumbs to coat. Sprinkle the buttery bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese over the casserole.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is heated through.
  6. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a crunchier texture, add chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts to the breadcrumb topping.
  • If you prefer, you can use frozen broccoli instead of fresh; just be sure to thaw and drain it well.
