CHEESY VEGETABLE RICE CASSEROLE



Cheesy Vegetable Rice Casserole image

My husband was craving something "cheesy and vegetable-y" so we threw some stuff in a pan and ended up with this. It turned out to be the most cheesy, creamy casserole I've ever had and it was fantastic. This is definitely a staple in our home now. We've done a version with just vegetables and a version with chicken.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Rice: Use a medium-grain rice like Arborio or Carnaroli for a creamy texture. Short-grain rice like sushi rice can also be used, but it will result in a slightly firmer texture.
  • Don't Overcook the Rice: Cook the rice according to the package instructions, but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked rice will become mushy and won't hold its shape well in the casserole.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables in this casserole. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, carrots, and bell peppers.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the casserole well with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to bring out the flavors of the rice, vegetables, and cheese.
  • Use a Good Quality Cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the casserole. Use a flavorful cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the casserole until the top is golden brown and bubbly. This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through and the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Baked rice, cheese, and vegetable casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With its creamy texture, flavorful vegetables, and melted cheese, this casserole is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
