Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 3 cups Cooked white rice
- 10.5 oz Condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 10.5 oz Condensed cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (optional)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Steam the broccoli florets until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Fold the steamed broccoli and sautéed onions into the rice mixture until evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
If using breadcrumbs, toss them with olive oil and sprinkle evenly over the casserole for an extra crunchy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbling and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this hearty family favorite!
