πŸ§€ Cheesy Broccoli Rice Casserole combines creamy melted cheese with tender broccoli and fluffy rice for a comforting and flavorful side dish.
🌿 This casserole is versatile and easy to prepare, perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday gatherings with wholesome ingredients.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

– 1 and 1/2 cups quick cooking white rice (approximately 4 cups cooked)

– 1/2 cup unsalted butter

– 1 medium white onion, chopped

– 4 cups fresh broccoli florets (or 4 cups frozen chopped broccoli as a substitute)

– 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup (about 1 and 1/4 cups)

– 8 ounces processed cheese or 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

– 1/2 cup milk

– 1/3 cup crushed potato chips

Instructions

1-First: preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and prepare your ingredients by cooking and fluffing the rice while washing the broccoli florets.

2-Next: steam the broccoli until it’s tender-crisp, which takes about 5 minutes to keep its bright color and nutrients intact.

3-In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, steamed broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then mix thoroughly until everything is evenly distributed.

4-Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly for baking.

5-Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles perfectly.

6-For dietary adaptations, swap regular cheese and sour cream with vegan or low-calorie alternatives before mixing to keep it suitable for everyone.

7-Once it’s done, let it cool slightly and serve warm it’s that simple!
