Ingredients

  • 16 ounce bag frozen broccoli about 2 cups
  • 1/2 cup dry rice cooked
  • 1 stick butter divided
  • 10.5 ounce can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup Ritz cracker crumbs

Instructions

  • Cook broccoli, but do not overcook.  Drain well. 
  • Add cooked rice to broccoli with 1/2 stick of softened or melted butter. 
  • Add mushroom soup, salt, pepper and cheese; stir well.
  • Mix well and put in a greased 2 or 2 1/2 quart casserole dish.
  • Mix cracker crumbs and 1/2 stick melted butter.  Sprinkle over top of casserole and bake at 325°F for 30 minutes.

Notes

  • Cook broccoli before adding to the casserole - we prefer the microwave steamable bags
  • Prepare rice before adding to the casserole - do NOT add uncooked rice
  • If broccoli pieces are large, the dish may be easier to eat if the broccoli is cut up to a smaller bite size
