I do not know where this recipe came from. I got it from a friend, who got it from a friend, who'd also gotten it from a friend. It's like a chain letter, only you'll love it. Broccoli, Cheese, and Rice Casserole is supposed to be a side dish. It's delicious and flavorful. We never eat it as a side dish any more. When we make this, we open a can of shredded chicken and call it a meal. This is equally good with frozen and fresh broccoli, in case you're wondering. Use whatever you have on hand.
