Blue Ribbon Recipe
This cheesy broccoli and rice is a great way to get your family to eat their greens. Frozen broccoli is cooked with rice and then mixed with cheese. We opted to use shredded cheddar cheese, but Swiss would be great too, and adds its nutty flavor. The melted cheddar cheese made everything creamy. Make sure to top with a little extra cheese when serving. Made in minutes, it's a satisfying and easy side dish.
