Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets (or frozen, thawed)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Steam the broccoli until tender but still bright green. Set aside.
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until soft and translucent (about 3–4 minutes).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked rice, steamed broccoli, sautéed onion, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For extra crunch, top with crushed crackers or breadcrumbs before baking.
- Swap the cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken or cream of celery for a different flavor.
