Betty’s Cheesy Broccoli Rice Casserole Recipe
ADVERTISEMENTS
Welcome back!
In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a family favorite, Cheesy Broccoli-Rice Casserole. This makes a *large* casserole, so it is great for holiday get-togethers and for potluck dinners! Plus, the taste is fantastic! Ingredients: 8 oz. frozen chopped broccoli, cooked according to package directions (Cook for about 3 minutes in 1-inch rapidly boiling water.) 2 cups white minute rice, cooked according to package directions (Place rice in 2 cups boiling water, turn off heat, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes.) 2 well-beaten eggs 2/3 cup milk 1/2 cup oil (I used canola oil.) 10 3/4 oz. can condensed cream of chicken soup 1 medium onion, chopped (I used an electric kitchen chopper.) 16 oz.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 well-beaten eggs, 2/3 cup milk, 1/2 cup oil, 10 3/4 oz. can of cream of chicken soup, and 1 medium onion, chopped. Blend well. Now, quickly add the cooked and drained 8 oz. broccoli and the cooked and fluffed 2 cups minute rice. Stir quickly to incorporate the broccoli and rice with the egg mixture, without cooking the eggs. Next, sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic salt to taste on the casserole mixture. Again, blend thoroughly. Spray a 13-inch by 9-inch by 2-inch baking dish with cooking spray, and spoon or pour the …

I tried this recipe yesterday, but I substituted long-grain rice for minute rice as I don’t usually use minute rice and don’t have any in the pantry. It came out with good flavor but it was kind of dry. I suspect the rice soaked up all the liquid.
So if you try this recipe use minute rice like Betty does. Or add an extra cup of chicken stock or something.
The casserole has good flavor and it is an excellent dish for a church pot-luck or something similar. My wife and daughter loved it.

@ohpineapples You bet it was delish! Then again, I’ve never tried one of Betty’s recipes that wasn’t terrific! She’s the best!

I honestly can’t wait to make this again !!! I think I will make my Mom a dish and take it to her. She used to love to cook : )))) She has Ruethmatoid Arthritis and can’t cook no more. She loves broccoli, cheese and rice. Yep, I’m for sure going to make this “again” and take it to her.

@Donaspet Hello ; ) Wasn’t this dish great?? yummy! I bought chopped broccoli by mistake, thought I’d never use it. I made some sticky rice in my rice cooker and made WAY too much. I seen this dish Betty made and I used my left over rice and I used my chopped broccoli that I bought by mistake. OMG that dish was soooo good. I hope yours was just has good ; )))))

Hi Betty,
I had mentioned that I made this and it was TERRIFIC!!! I seen that my hubby took some in his lunch this morning ; ) I has accidently bought chopped broccoli and I had a bunch of steamed left over rice and I made your great dish from that! Tx!

HI Betty:) I made this for sunday supper. It was great !! I made a boo boo tho. I put in only 2 cups of cheese. So the last part of cooking I added on top the other 2 cups of cheese. I was GREAT!

me and my girlfriend made this dish, turned out great. one thing though, i think it would have came out better without the oil. we cut the recipe in half but it was still too oily. so maybe use butter next time and add some crushed crackers too.

@Donaspet Hi! Yes, you can make this recipe the day before and bake it the next day. I have done that with this recipe many times. I try to remove it from the refrigerator about an hour before baking and then use the stated length of time. If you can’t do that, allow a little extra time for baking, but check toward the end of baking to make sure it’s not getting too brown on the top. It should be great!

Hi Betty, I’ve tried this recipe and it’s lovely. I have a question. If I were really pressed for time, could I prepare this dish, cover and refrigerate, and then bake it the next day? Would the cooking time be longer because of the cooler starting temperature?
Thanks for your help!

nice!

You forgot to type what to do with the cheese (7:03) , in the recipe under the ingredients list.
