A simple baked casserole combining rice, broccoli, and a creamy cheese sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 cups frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup crushed butter crackers (like Ritz)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 1.5-quart casserole dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, thawed broccoli, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 3/4 cup of the cheddar cheese, milk, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the crushed butter crackers and melted butter. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the casserole mixture.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes.
  6. Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken soup if desired.
  • For a richer flavor, use freshly grated cheddar cheese instead of pre-shredded.
