Prep time: 15 minutesCook time: 30 minutesServes: 6
Ingredients
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups water
1/2 tsp salt
4 cups broccoli florets
1 tbsp butter
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp black pepper
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium-sized pot, combine the rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until rice is cooked.
3. While the rice is cooking, steam the broccoli florets until they are just tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
4. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, broccoli, sautéed onion and garlic, black pepper, 2 cups of cheddar cheese, cream of mushroom soup, and milk. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
6. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving.
