  • 1 can

How To Make broccoli rice casserole

  • 1
    cook broccoli until tender (I find that putting it in the microwave with a little water in a microwave safe glass dish works well -on high for approx. 5 to 10 minutes, checking every few minutes for tenderness)
  • 2
    blend cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and cheese whiz in a saucepan on the stove - once well blended cook until hot but DO NOT BOIL
  • 3
    when the broccoli is done, drain any excess water off then add to the hot soup and cheese mixture
  • 4
    spray a glass 9 x 13 baking dish with no stick cooking spray (such as PAM) and spread rice evenly onto the bottom (it will look like a very thin layer)
  • 5
    Slowly pour the broccoli, soup, and cheese mixture over the rice, but Do Not Mix them - they should be 2 separate layers -
  • 6
    bake in a 350 F oven for approx. 20 minutes, or until the edges bubble and get a golden look to them
  • 7
    *If you want a thicker casserole to feed a larger crowd use 3 cups cooked rice and 2 cans of each soup - you may need a little extra broccoli as well - *
