Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups ham, diced
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup milk
- 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups white or brown rice, cooked
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
Blanch the broccoli florets by boiling them in salted water for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until fully mixed.
Add the cooked rice, diced ham, blanched broccoli, and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. Mix until the ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
