BROCCOLI, HAM AND CHEESE CASSEROLE

I had the broccoli, ham and cheese, but no cream soup, so I took a couple existing recipes and improvised. Also, I used Jarlsberg cheese, but Swiss or any favorite cheese could be used.

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
salt
pepper
1 cup brown rice, cooked
1 cup ham, diced (can use more)
3 cups broccoli florets, steamed
1 cup broth, chicken (or vegetarian)
1 cup cheese (shredded or cubed, I use Jarlsberg, your choice)
1 cup onion rings, french fried

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cook onions in butter until almost soft, add garlic and cook all until soft.
Sprinkle flour over butter/onion mixture, stir to form a roux.
Slowly pour in milk and broth. Stir until somewhat thickened. Add cheese, salt and pepper. Continue to stir until thickened.
Spread ham, broccoli and rice in 9x9 glass casserole pan (or similar).
Pour cheese mixture over top.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Sprinkle fried onions on top. Bake for another 15 min until cheese is bubbling but not burnt!
Note: I was out of milk and didn't want to cook rice or broccoli ahead of time. I did the onion - flour steps the same, then upped the liquid (3 Cups broth) and just added the raw rice and broccoli to the pan, let the mixture of stuff come to a boil, then simmered for a few minutes; stirred in the cheese; sprinkled the onions on top; baked for 20min. Yum!

Tips:

To ensure even cooking, preheat your oven to the desired temperature before baking the casserole.
Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Shred your own cheese and use real butter for the sauce.
Don't overcook the broccoli. It should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
If you like a crispy topping, sprinkle some bread crumbs or crushed crackers on top of the casserole before baking.
Serve the casserole hot out of the oven with a side salad or roasted vegetables.
