When it comes to comforting classics that stand the test of time, few dishes compare to a hearty broccoli rice casserole that borrows familiar flavors from broccoli cheddar soup and merges them with a rice bake in the form of a quick and easy casserole<\/a>.<\/p>\n Thanks to a combination of tender broccoli florets, fluffy rice<\/a> and a rich cheese sauce, this dish is the epitome of satisfying comfort food. Whether you’re hosting a family gathering, a potluck<\/a> with friends or simply craving a wholesome meal at home, this recipe is sure to delight every palate at the table. Plus, it’s pretty to serve and it makes a tasty side dish for almost any kind of meat.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 325\u00b0F. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat and add the onions, celery and broccoli. Cook, stirring until the veggies are crisp-tender, three to five minutes.<\/p>\n Next, stir in the cheese dip, soup and milk, combining everything until it’s nice and smooth.<\/span><\/p>\n Spoon the cooked rice into a greased 8-inch square baking dish, and pour the cheese mixture over the rice, but do not stir. Bake the casserole, uncovered, until bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.<\/p>\n Divvy up the casserole between serving bowls, top with your favorite garnishes and dig in!<\/p>\n Casseroles were invented with leftovers in mind, and nothing tastes better the next day more than a cheesy broccoli rice bake. Cover the remaining casserole with plastic wrap or tin foil, and place it in the fridge to dig into later. Alternatively, transfer individual-size portions to sealed, airtight containers for weekly heat-and-eat lunches and dinners.<\/p>\n You bet! In fact, we recommend doubling the recipe and making two casseroles: one to bake, and one to freeze unbaked to pull out whenever surprise guests come over. That way you can pop it in the oven and have a delicious dinner in 25 minutes.<\/p>\n If stored in covered storage containers or zip-top bags, this casserole will stay fresh in the fridge for up to three days. Frozen casseroles will last for up to three months.<\/p>\n The microwave method is the fastest way to reheat a cold casserole. Scoop some into a bowl, sprinkle with cheese if desired and pop it in the microwave for one to two minutes. You could also bake the casserole at 325\u00b0 for 10 minutes or until it’s cooked through.<\/p>\n The shortcut roux we shared earlier is a great way to thicken a soupy casserole quickly. Add a little to the cheese mixture until it starts to thicken, then proceed to bake.<\/p>\n This recipe is a clean slate as far as seasonings go, so feel free to add your favorites! If you like it hot, try a few dashes of Cajun seasoning blend, hot sauce or red pepper flakes. If you want more of a fresh appeal, opt for minced fresh herbs like chives, cilantro or parsley. Salt, pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika are more spices to consider.<\/p>\n A leafy green salad would be a nice balance for this hearty dish, or any one of our 5-star chicken recipes<\/a>. We also love steamed green beans, garlic bread, pork chops and cornbread muffins<\/a> served alongside this broccoli rice casserole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Discover the perfect potluck dish, a hearty broccoli rice casserole topped with a rich cheese sauce.
