MOM'S CHEESY BROCCOLI RICE CASSEROLE



Mom's Cheesy Broccoli Rice Casserole image

This is my favorite broccoli rice casserole...maybe it's because it's so darn creamy and cheesy I don't even notice the broccoli! :) Enjoy!

Provided by KPD123

Categories     Rice

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 ounces frozen chopped broccoli, microwaved about 6 minutes to thaw
2 cups cooked rice
2 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
1 (5 ounce) can Carnation Evaporated Milk
1 onion, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
1 (5 ounce) can premium chunk chicken (I sometimes use 2 or the large can when I'm treating this as a one-dish meal)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Saute onions and celery in butter until soft. Add chicken, salt, and pepper. Saute a minute or so to marry flavors.
  • In a large bowl, combine soups, milk, rice, broccoli, onion/chicken mixture. Fold in 2 cups cheese.
  • Pour into a greased 2 quart casserole dish. Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese (I sometimes use more -- it's terrible, I know! ;).
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes uncovered.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli. Look for broccoli that is deep green in color and has tight florets. Avoid broccoli that is yellowing or has loose florets.
  • Prepare the broccoli properly. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and wash them thoroughly. To blanch the broccoli, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the broccoli and immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what really makes this casserole special. Be sure to use a good quality cheese, such as cheddar or Gruyère. You can also add other ingredients to the sauce, such as cooked bacon, diced onion, or chopped nuts.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. The broccoli should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooking the casserole will make the broccoli mushy.
  • Serve the casserole hot. This casserole is best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish it with chopped parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Broccoli casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a broccoli casserole recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give broccoli casserole a try. You won't be disappointed.
