My Famous Brocolli Cheese Rice dish
I am always asked to bring this to potlucks, and it is always a hit. The ammounts vary. If brocolli is on sale I use more, if it is expensive less. Same with cheese. I prefer brown rice, but have also made it well with white.
Cook rice by your favorite recipe. (I use two parts salted water to one part rice, bring to boil, cover pan reduce heat and cook until water is absorbed.)
When rice is almost cooked, add brocolli. I use either frozen or fresh. If using fresh, cut head into small pieces. Peal stem and slice about 1/8 inch slices. When rice is finished cooking the brocolli should be done also. Then add Cream of Mushroom soup and grated chedder cheese. I like sharp, but medium works also.
For a potluck, I usually use 1 pound of rice, about a pound of brocolli, a family size can of soup and from a half pound to a pound of cheese. This makes enough to fill my crock pot, which always works well for take along meals. Also good put into a casserole with bread crumb topping and baked until top is brown.
