Broccoli Cheese and Rice Casserole
From Chef Tess @ cheftessbakeresse.blogspot.com/
Ingredients:
1 small onion, chopped
10 oz package frozen broccoli
1T butter
1/4 cup flour
4 cups milk
1 tsp dill
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp curry powder
Cracked black pepper and all purpose seasoning to taste.
6 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
3 cups rice, cooked with 6 cups of chicken broth and set aside to make casserole.
Directions:
In a large skillet over medium heat, saute the onion in butter for 3-5 minutes until clear.
Add flour.
Whisk in the milk.
Add seasoning.
Stir until thickened, about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the cheese.
Once cheese is melted, add the broccoli.
Scoop over the rice.
Serve.
Note: if you don't want to make the sauce from scratch, you may use one large jar of Ragu double cheese sauce instead, just be sure to season well.
This freezes beautifully...
Divide rice and broccoli topping between THREE 8 inch foil pans.
Put in fridge and chill.
Getting the food cold quickly will keep food borne illnesses from growing in your casserole. Yikes.
THEN Cover tightly with foil. Label clearly with the following directions:
Defrost 24 hours in the fridge and bake 350 degrees 25-30 minutes. If cooking from frozen, bake 350 degrees 45 minutes to one hour. You may top with extra cheese if desired.
Enjoy!
