BROCCOLI RICE AND CHEESE
CASSEROLE
 
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 (10 oz. ea.) pkgs of frozen broccoli, cooked and drained
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2 (10 oz. ea.) cans cream of chicken soup
6 cups wild rice
1 garlic clove
3 cups shredded cheese, your favorite

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a skillet melt the stick of butter. Sauté onion and garlic, until onions are tender. Set aside to cool.

Steam the frozen broccoli until thawed, then drain well. Let cool.

Cook wild rice according to directions. (Use any type of rice desired; wild rice is exceptionally good in this recipe).

It is important to allow the warm ingredients to cool before mixing everything together so the cheese doesn't melt too soon.

When sufficiently cool, reserve 1/2 cup of the cheese and mix remaining ingredients together. Put in a oven-proof baking dish or casserole dish (or 2 if needed).

Spread reserved 1/2 cup of cheese on top. Cover with foil.

Bake for 20 minutes, remove foil; bake an additional 5 to 15 minutes, or until cheese on top is hot and bubbly.

Make approx 12 servings, recipe can be cut in half.

My mom did a 1 cup type. 1 box of florets (diced), 1 cup cooked Minute Rice, 1 can cream of mushroom soup and 1 jar of Cheez Whiz. So rich!

I make this all the time and everyone always loves it! I have found that I have to cook at a higher temp for a little longer than stated, as I usually make the day before and refrigerate overnight before baking. I usually use white rice but think I will make a half recipe and try using the wild rice for a change.

Are you the Rhonda on Find a Grave? I am the daughter of Lloyd Willis Scott. You posted a picture of him that you found in your in-laws belongings. Your Uncle Glen Toothaker had taken the picture before 1940. Lloyd was killed on 2/21/40 when I was 9 months old. Do you happen to have the original or any other pictures or information? It would a great deal to me.

Good recipe could be excellent if Cream of Chicken Soup adding instructions were applied. Anywho, trial and error and innovation are the learning foundation of an excellent cook. Thank you Tiffany!

There's a part in the directions that states, "When sufficiently cool, reserve 1/2 cup of the cheese and mix remaining ingredients together." I believe the "remaining ingredients" part includes the soup... basically everything except the 1/2 cup of cheese.

I like to add chicken to make it more of a meal and less of a side dish. I also love adding chunks of mushrooms. SUCH a yummy recipe!

 Jen-Sung Tan (Texas) says:
The recipe has a good taste. Used 2 cups rice, 0.25 cup butter, 3 garlic cloves, half of an onion, and milk after stirring halfway before adding cheese. This recipe is a suitable side to any western entree.

I made this for our Easter dinner and it was an instant hit. Everybody wanted the recipe. I tweaked it a bit by adding cauliflower. No leftovers!

This is great... to add extra flavor, use sharp cheddar cheese, and about 3 tablespoons of garlic salt!

I've been looking to make more meals incorporated with veggies and this one doesn't disappoint. I'm going to try it with some cut up turkey ham next time. Thank you for sharing. Bravo!
