Another older recipe from my files. This is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables--the broccoli is swimming in creamy cheese sauce. Recipe & photo: cinnamonspiceandeverythingnice.com 06-28-14

How To Make baked broccoli cheesy rice

Step 1

In a large saucepan melt the butter over low heat; add garlic and saute until fragrant. Whisk in flour and cook 3-4 minutes, whisking constantly.

Add 2 cups of cheddar cheese and parmesan; stir until mostly melted; remove from heat.

Step 2

Stir in rice and broccoli florets, pour into a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese over top.
Step 3

Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 400º oven for 30 minutes or until bubbly and lightly golden on top. Allow to set 5 minutes before serving.
