This is an easy to make casserole and since I had all the ingredients on hand, intant dinner. I did add a few seasonings since it did need a ittle more pizzaz as well as a few squeezes of fresh lemon juice to wake up the fresh broccoli. I also topped it with cheese after baking and popped it back in the oven to melt the cheese - pretty darn good!

Wonderful recipe! I used mushroom rice that we had leftover. Even the kids loved it!

This is a nice, warming and complete meal that we enjoyed. Next time, I will probably jazz it up a bit by adding some garlic and onion. Thanks for sharing!
