My family has been making this for years. We don't have a holiday without it. It is so good even all the kids love it.

Super hearty, you could almost eat this broccoli and rice casserole as a meal. If you love cheese, you'll love this broccoli casserole. It's super cheesy! Filled with broccoli, we can see why it's a must on Kari's holiday menu.
