If you're looking for a delicious side dish or a comforting meal, this broccoli cheese and rice casserole is perfect. One of the secrets to its creamy, rich flavor? Evaporated milk! It adds that extra smoothness we all love. Check out the recipe below and let me know what you think! We have Broccoli Cheese Rice Casserole For The Win!
Ingredients:
- 2 bags of instant rice
- 1 bag frozen broccoli florets
- 1/2 can evaporated milk
- 3 cups shredded cheese
- 1 can broccoli cheese soup
- Seasonings of your choice
- 1 stick of butter, melted
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Rice: Cook the instant rice according to package instructions. Once ready, transfer to a large mixing bowl and season to taste.
2. Cook the Base: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add chopped onions and garlic (optional) and cook until fragrant. Stir in the broccoli cheese soup and evaporated milk, mixing well. Season as desired and reduce heat to low. Optionally, add some shredded cheese for extra creaminess.
3. Add Broccoli: Microwave the frozen broccoli florets, then squeeze out any excess water to prevent a watery casserole. Add the broccoli to the rice mixture in the bowl, and stir until well combined.
4. Combine and Bake: Pour the cheese sauce from the skillet into the bowl with rice and broccoli. Add 1/2–1 cup of shredded cheese and mix thoroughly. Transfer everything into a greased baking dish, top with more cheese, and bake at 350°F for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the rest is history!
