This was the easiest of the ones I found and I had all the ingredients. So I used this one. I did make a few additions/ change; I always always cook my instant rice in a broth and have a gluten free diet so instead of the cracker I sprinkled the top with a little more cheddar cheese.

This is one of the best casseroles I've ever had. I did add a few ingredients and changed the can soup for what I had on hand in my pantry. I used fresh broccoli and added fresh cauliflower and I sub cream of celery soup. I used a half a can of whipping cream to had a richer flavor and used jasmine rice. I sprinkled some Stove Top Stuffing over top of the casserole in place of the Ritz crackers. It was a HUGE hit at the lake. Everyone loved it and wanted the recipe. This is a KEEPER! Thank you so much for sharing this delicious casserole!
