Simple and tasty side dish. Rich and creamy with cheese. What is there not to like? Reheats well too. I originally found this gem of a recipe in an old cook book called Savour with Sue, written by Sue Select, 1981. I have made a few changes over the years but to this day still make this quite often.

How To Make broccoli rice

  • Step 1
    Cook your rice and allow to cool off. I like to cook it with chicken broth, instead of water for added flavor.
  • Step 2
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 1 1/2 quart baking dish and set aside.
  • Step 3
    In a deep sided frying pan or a large pot, saute onion and garlic in oil until translucent. Add the cream of soup, milk and cheese and over low heat, combine until the cheese has melted.
  • Step 4
    And the broccoli and rice. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Pour into your prepared baking dish. Top with Italian bread crumbs (or any crumbs you like)
  • Step 5
    Bake 25-30 minutes. Can be made the night before and baked the next day.
