Green Rice (Cheesy Broccoli Rice) image

This recipe contains green chiles which is different from the other recipes posted. We make this every year for Thanksgiving and we fight over the left overs. We usually double the recipe. Feel free to use more or less broccoli to suit your tastes. You can increase the ratio of rice to broccoli if you have picky eaters. If you increase the amount of rice also increase the amount of Cheez Whiz.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. The flavors were good, but I found the rice to be a bit dry. Next time I'll add a little more liquid.

Really enjoyed this recipe! I used brown rice instead of white rice and it worked out well. The broccoli and cheese sauce were a great combination and the green color was really fun.

The green rice cheesy broccoli rice turned out great! The rice was cooked perfectly and the broccoli was still slightly crunchy. The cheese sauce was creamy and flavorful. Definitely a keeper!
