It's equally good with frozen and fresh broccoli, too, in case you're wondering.
Recipe
Broccoli, Cheese, and Rice Casserole with Velveeta
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup instant rice measured uncooked, prepared according to package instructions
- 2 teaspoons onion powder chopped
- ¼ cup milk
- 4 ounces Velveeta cubed
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 pound broccoli chopped (if using frozen, it should be thawed and drained)
- 10¾ ounces cream of chicken soup undiluted
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breadcrumbs and stir until coated. Stir every minute or two until breadcrumbs are evenly toasted.
- Combine all ingredients except breadcrumbs and cheddar in a 2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle with cheddar then breadcrumbs.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or in the microwave for 8 minutes. Breadcrumbs are already toasted, so they don't really need to be baked in the oven to get crispy.
