This is my version of the ever popular Broccoli-Cheese Casserole. Most recipes call for frozen chopped broccoli, this is where my recipe is different. I use fresh broccoli, which I cut up and steam or cook it with the onions for just a bit, until the broccoli turns a vibrant green.

How To Make broccoli cheese & rice casserole

  • Step 1
    Cook rice. While rice is cooking, cut and trim fresh broccoli into bite-size pieces. Chop red onion.
  • Step 2
    In a large pan, saute broccoli and onions in butter until broccoli and onions are tender. (I sometimes steam the broccoli if I have time so that it is more tender.)
  • Step 3
    Add cheeze-whiz, soup, milk and cooked rice and stir together.
  • Step 4
    Place in a casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for about 60 minutes.
  • Step 5
    This freezes well.....although I never have any left over to freeze. hehe
