Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, cubed ham, blanched broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and toast for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade Broccoli Ham Hot Dish!
