Cheesy Broccoli and Rice Casserole
This comforting casserole combines tender broccoli and fluffy white rice in a rich, creamy sauce made with Cheese Whiz, sour cream and butter. Seasoned with onion, salt and pepper, the mixture is baked until hot and bubbling. It's a straightforward dish that yields eight generous portions and is ready in about 45 minutes.
Ingredients
- 5 cups cooked white rice
- 1 bunch broccoli
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 15 ounces Cheese Whiz
- 16 ounces sour cream
- salt and pepper
Method
- Chop the broccoli and cook it by your chosen method, then set it aside.
- Combine the butter, chopped onion, salt, pepper and Cheese Whiz in a bowl, mixing until fully incorporated. If the mixture is too firm, you can warm it briefly in the microwave to help it blend, but avoid melting it. Stir in the sour cream.
- Fold the cooked rice and prepared broccoli into the cheese mixture until evenly combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 pan, cover it with foil, and bake at 325 for 20-25 minutes.
