Green Rice (Broccoli, Cheese, and Rice Casserole) image

When I was younger, I didn't like broccoli, but I sure loved this casserole! I requested "green rice" all the time. Maybe it was because of all the cheese :) This is a good way to get veggies, whole grains, and calcium into picky kids' mouths! Can either be a vegetarian main dish or a side dish.
