Very tasty! I also liked that this version had ingredients I could pronounce. Used a shortcut which worked quite nicely: In the covered casserole dish, added the chopped broccoli and microwaved for 3 mintues on high, no water necessary. Perfectly crisp tender and green, and, since I just added the other ingredients to the cooked broccoli before baking, no extra dish to wash :) Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Just made this devine rice and broccoli dish that made everybody keep coming back for more. Being in the full heat of the summer most people are cooking "cool" dishes, but we felt the need to comforted, and use up our garden broccoli. Very easy recipe, had everything on hand so that made it even more comforting. The cheese, the broccoli the breads crumbs...all tasted wonderful. We love pepper, so I added some red pepper flakes to the topping with the crackers. Yummmm....tasty! Thank you so much, Galley Wench.
