This Broccoli Rice Casserole is very cheesy and delicious—it serves 12 as a side dish, but you might want to factor in seconds! 3 steps and some pantry staples make this dish easy—and if you follow the tip below, you can use uncooked rice and reduce the prep to 5 minutes! Saute onion and broccoli in butter, then add Cheddar cheese soup, shredded cheese and cooked rice. Spoon it into a casserole and bake—it gets all hot and bubbly and a little browned around the edges. Or, if you want a less indulgent but still delicious version, try: Healthy Broccoli Cheddar Rice.
Step 1
Heat the oven to 350°F. While the oven is heating, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small bowl and mix in the panko. Heat the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender-crisp.
Step 2
Stir the broccoli in the skillet and cook until tender-crisp. Stir in the milk, soup, rice and cheese. Cook and stir until the cheese is melted. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the broccoli mixture into an 11x8x2-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the panko mixture on top.
Step 3
Bake for 30 minutes or until hot and the panko mixture is golden brown.
