Green Rice (Cheesy Broccoli Rice)

Submitted by swissms

"This recipe contains green chiles which is different from the other recipes posted. We make this every year for Thanksgiving and we fight over the left overs. We usually double the recipe. Feel free to use more or less broccoli to suit your tastes. You can increase the ratio of rice to broccoli if you have picky eaters. If you increase the amount of rice also increase the amount of Cheez Whiz."

Good recipe, easy to follow. I used brown rice also. Very rich and tasty, and my son like it also, even though he is a picky eater.

yum! I've never had this with the chilis or a cream soup (we used cream of celery). I used a mixed broccoli and cauliflower bag cause I couldn't find any just plain broccoli.
