Broccoli, Rice & Ground Beef Casserole

AmberMomOfTwoBoys's Note:

I make this casserole frequently for supper because it is cheap, fast, filling and great for kids. It's even good for very young kids who are just beginning to eat table foods. When I was a kid, we would have this as a side dish for holiday dinners, but I make it as a simple supper with crackers or dinner rolls and salad. You can substitute ingredients to fit what you have on hand.

This was pretty good. A little too much Cheez Whiz taste, but I would definitely make it again, using less cheese. Thanks for the recipe, we love casseroles!!
