Serves 6 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Salt
1 teaspoon, or to taste
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
Butter
3 tablespoons
Onion
1 medium, finely chopped
Milk
1/2 cup
Cream of mushroom soup
1 (10.5 ounce) can
Cheddar cheese
2 cups, shredded
Rice
1 cup, uncooked
Broccoli
2 cups, chopped into florets

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the broccoli to the skillet and cook for another 3-5 minutes until it turns bright green and becomes slightly tender.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, sautéed broccoli and onion, cheddar cheese, cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is golden brown. If you like a crispy top, you can broil the casserole for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Tips

  • 💡 Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or peas for extra nutrition and flavor.
  • 💡 For a gluten-free version, substitute the cream of mushroom soup with a gluten-free variety.
