Nif's Broccoli Rice Casserole (Vegetarian)

"This is a delicious side dish that goes well with any kind of meal. I make it for family potluck dinners and it's always a hit! I have seen several versions of this casserole. This one stems from a Best of Bridge recipe that I modified because I dislike instant rice and like to use more fresh veggies! You can also use this as a main dish and add whatever protein you like to it - ham or chicken are great. Overlook the use of canned soup and Cheez Whiz (I rarely use them) and you'll be glad that you tried it. Enjoy!"

  1. Oh, this was pure comfort food for me tonight. I tried, but could not bring myself to buy Cheez Whiz, so used a little more cream of mushroom soup and a little more cheese. Delicious! Thanks. Made for PRMR game.

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
