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 family liked this very much. The recipe made a lot. My 14yo ate it for dinner, breakfast, dinner and breakfast again. I used white cheddar and parmesan cheese. I think it could have been spiced up a little... Next time :-)
