I was going to enter this recipe and found one that this one is the same recipe I've been using. I doubled this recipe and it fits nicely into a 3 quart glass dish ( see the picture I posted)

My husband had been craving broccoli and rice. Decided to try this version and I'm glad I did! He probably ate 3 servings just by himself! We enjoyed the addition of the mushrooms (we'd never had broccoli & rice casserole with mushrooms added before). I followed the directions other than I did saute my onion in the butter called for. The only thing I would change next time would be to add some salt and pepper. Thanks, I will be making this again!

This is not only easy, it tastes GREAT as well! I prepared this casserole last evening for my wife's supper and I could tell right off that I had hit a home run -- those eyebrows shot up when she tasted it. It's amazing that such simple ingredients, strategically combined, can turn out so very good. Thanks, Stacky, for yet another of your super recipes. This one goes into the permanent rotation. big pat.

Yes this recipe is outstanding to me and my family. It is simple and so so good! I also doubled the recipe and can't wait for lunch to have some more, I think everything gets even better the next day so I am very much looking foreward to this. I thought I had an onion but I didn't so omited that, otherwise followed the recipe exactly and it was a definate crowd pleaser in this home.
