Seeking a Broccoli and Cheese Casserole Recipe

This one is super easy and SO YUMMY! My family all loves it, even the picky eaters...

2 cups uncooked rice (I use Uncle Ben's white)
2 packages Frozen Chopped Broccoli (the frozen boxes)
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup onion, diced
1 stick margarine
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 small jar cheese whiz (I use the large jar, but both ways are good)
Salt & Pepper to taste

Cook Rice according to package. Cook broccoli according to package (separate from rice).

In medium skillet, saute celery and onion in margarine.

Combine cooked rice, cooked broccoli, sauteed onion & celery in large bowl.

Add cream of chicken soup and cheese whiz. Mix thoroughly. Salt & pepper to taste and stir until mixed well.

Place in casserole (rectangular pyrex) dish and bake 15 or 20 minutes in 350 degree oven.

2 boxes Frozen Chopped Broccoli
2 cups cooked Rice
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
2 large jars Cheese Whiz
1/4 cup Milk

Thaw broccoli. I usually use the defrost function on the microwave to do it. Stir the broccoli, cooked rice and both cans of soup together in a casserole dish. Add Cheese Whiz and stir together. Stir in milk (more/less milk may be needed to make casserole creamy but not too milkly). Place in oven preheated to 350 and cook for about 20-30 minutes (until casserole begins to bubble and/or brown slightly).

I am asked to make this dish at every family function. It is great!!!

I made this a couple weeks ago and it was yummy!

Our favorite Broccoli Rice Casserole comes from allrecipes.com.

1 (10.75oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (10.75oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 1/4 cups water

1 tablespoon of butter
Salt and pepper to taste

OPTIONAL:
1 bunch celery chopped
1 large onion chopped

Directions:
Cook broccoli and rice according to package directions. Preheat oven to 350.

Over low heat, mix soups and water. Gradually stir in cheese until melted (be sure NOT to burn).

(OPTIONAL: melt butter in skillet and saute celery and onion until soft)

Combine broccoli, rice, soup/cheese mixture in large mixing bowl, (onions and celery). Pour mixture into a 9 x 13 baking dish.

Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes until bubbly and lightly brown.

**** I said optional on the celery and onions because our son will not eat it with celery and onion. I'm not a fan of celery, so no loss there.

Whenever we use this recipe (minus onion and celery) we ALWAYS get tons of compliments and return home with an empty bowl. :-)

PS: I made this tonight. PERFECTION!

Family Recipe: We call it "Green Rice"
My Mother-in-law was terrified the 1st time I announced I was bringing green rice to Thanksgiving dinner, but this is the 3rd year in a row that she has requested it, so obviously it was a hit. It is sooooo good & easy (and is not really green!)

Ingredients: 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 cup water, 1 cup 5 min instant rice, 1/4 cup melted butter, 1 can of cream of mushroom, 1 can of cream of celery, 8 oz American Processed Cheese (NOT Velveeta, but you'll find it right next to it- blue box), and 1 bag frozen broccoli floweretts (Bird's Eye Baby Broccoli Floweretts are my favorite, but any will do).

Directions: Heat oven 350.
Cook 5 min. rice according to directions with salt & water. While rice sits, cook broccoli in the microwave for 3 minutes and cube the cheese.
After rice sits for 5 min. mix in butter, soups, broccoli, and cheese. Pour it all into a casserole dish and bake for 1 hour. Makes about 1.5 quarts.

This is one my mother-in-law always makes that is great. I am going to make it for Thanksgiving this year. I was a little surprised it has cheez wiz in it (yuck), but I know it always tastes great when she makes it, so I'm going to try it.

2 pkgs. frozen chopped broccoli
1/2 stick butter
1 small onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 cups cooked rice
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 large jar cheez whiz
salt and pepper to taste

Cook broccoli according to directions on package (about 6 minutes). Melt butter and saute onion and celery until clear. Add rice, soups, Cheez Whiz, salt and pepper to taste. Mix together and put in a well greased casserole dish. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. You can also use shredded cheddar cheese on top if desired--she usually does.

Go to Campbells soup website. I don;t have the recipe handy, but last time I made it I used a recei[pe from their website!

Good luck!

My great-grandma's recipe- everybody always loves it!
1 stick of butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can of Cheez Whiz
1 cup of Minute Rice, cooked
1 bag of frozen chopped broccoli, cooked
sliced or shredded cheese for top
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sautee onion in butter. Add broccoli to onion and butter. Add soup, Cheez Whiz, and rice to the mixture and stir until well-mixed. Pour into a cassereole dish, place sliced or shredded cheese on top, and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
I usually microwave the broccoli while sauteeing the onion and microwave the rice while adding everything else. Then, I just dump the rice in and stir. It's really quick to prepare!
