Broccoli, Rice & Cheese Casserole

I was given this recipe by my mother-in-law years ago. I have made a few minor adjustments and it is one of my favorite casseroles. This is a great potluck or family recipe, you can make it up ahead of time, refrigerate and pop it in the oven when you’re ready.

Cook the broccoli and rice according to package directions and let cool.

Melt butter in a saucepan and partially cook the onion and celery.

In a large bowl add all of the ingredients and stir well to combine.

Spray a 9” x 13” oven safe dish with cooking oil.

Pour mixture into the prepared dish.

Bake in a preheated 350º oven for 1 hour and stir.

Let sit for 5-10 minutes then serve.

I often do something similar albeit with pasta. It’s very tasty and filling.
It is a delicious combination and a stick to your ribs dish.
Exactly
We like broccoli in any form. But I must say, this dish of yours looks delicious! Thanks for the share Diane – we are definitely going to try this recipe.
Thank you Corna! I, too, love broccoli and even made a broccoli salad with dinner tonight.
Oh yes, we also have a favourite broccoli salad (with bacon, cheese and mayonnaise) … yummy!
Yes that’s the one! Having it for lunch today!
Looks like a crowd pleaser.
It definitely is Dorothy, I love the leftovers for days. Lol
Oh oh oh – one of my favorite casseroles! I am pressing my fork to the screen but I cannot get any of time on my fork 🙁
😉
Haha An oldie but goodie, thank you Tierney!
Can you use grated cheese instead?
I love the taste of broccoli and cheese casserole.
Give it a try Katelon I have always used Chez Whiz.
What a great side dish, Diane.
Thank you Carla, I may or may not have made this a meal occasionally. 😂
Thanks Diane for this easy, and I am sure delicious, pantry recipe.
You’re welcome and thank you for your nice comment!
Looks delicious, Diane. Perfect for family outings. I do think I need to eat more broccoli in my diet!
I used to eat it every day for lunch, I love it! When I went to the doctor after some bloodwork the nurse told me she wish she had my blood. I swear it is better than any medicine! I made broccoli salad with supper today. Thank you Ab!
My doctor says I need to improve my cholesterol level. Probably more broccoli in my future. 😆
Broccoli, your favorite vegetable Diane – it looks delicious!
Haha You know me well. I make a meal out of my broccoli salad recipe too. It is raw broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, bacon and my homemade sweet and sour dressing. Terry eats a small bowl and I devour the rest (not in one day). Thank you Linda!
That sounds good Diane – especially it in Summer as a cold salad. I had some dinners where my mom would have the tiniest amount and I got the rest … tuna and cheese in crescent roll. Mmmm.
Now that’s a sandwich!
Thank you for reblogging! 🥰
