Broccoli Cheese Casserole

This is a dish my mom and grandma have been making for quite a while.  I love it and always ask for it every holiday and thought I whould share this simple, tasty recipe with everyone here at Instructables!

Step 1 Supplies

Ingredients:

1 pk. Frozen Broccoli or equivalent (1 lb.) in fresh
4 oz. Cheese Whiz or other type of cheese (I ended up using the whole jar of 15 oz. and it was a great choice.)
3/4 cup Margarine
1 pk. of Uncle Ben's white and wild rice
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup

Optional Ingredients I chose to leave out:
1 med. chopped onion
1/4 cup Slivered almonds

Equipment:
Dishes to make rice
Casserole Dish or Dutch Oven + Cover
Cutting Board and Knife (if fresh broccoli)
Spoon
Stovetop Pan big enough to hold cooked onion, broccoli, soup, and cheese (I used the Dutch Oven for this.)
Oven
Stovetop

Total cooking time will be the amount of time it takes to cook rice (half an hour for me) and baking time (half an hour): approximately 1 hour.

Looks good !! why did you leave Onions out , don't like them ? beside drooling over my keyboard before looking at ingredients i had a thought of french cut sauted onions , or those crispy fried onions people put on casseroles ? I'm Trying this !! Thanks

[Penolopy Bulnick]

Yeah. When I can, I avoid using onions, but I wanted to still include it for everyone that does like them :)

It is great! You're going to have to give it a try!

Broccoli and a cheese sauce is a semi-favorite here. The rice is an interesting twist I'll have to try

[Penolopy Bulnick]

Definitely! It is really good!
