DELICIOUS! This makes quite a bit, I was able to double this and served 16 with it! I was also able to OAMC this recipe by freezing it in a disposable tin, thawing it the morning of the day I wanted to cook then baking it and it came out perfect! Not dry or anything. Thanks!

Excellent! I halved this receipe (except for the cheese!) and used fresh broccoli and cream of celery. I prefer to serve this receipe after step 2. The baking made the broccoli mushy and added nothing, in my opinion, to the taste.

I made this recipe for the Freezer Tag game the in OAMC forum. I did not cook the onion or heat up the cheese, simply mixed all the ingredients together in a large bowl and split the mixture between two square casserole dishes. One I froze (for a week) and the other I made right away. The first dish seemed a bit bland to me(I would add some garlic, and two or three different cheeses like colby, monterey jack, and maybe marjoram and salt and pepper) but my husband loved it. A week later, the frozen mixture, thawed overnight and then baked for one hour, turned out better tasting the the unfrozen casserole! The cheese taste seemed to intensify with freezing. It turned out great! For OAMC, simply mix all ingredients together (start with your rice cooked, not raw) and spoon into two or even three smaller casserole dishes (I used the square Glad Ovenware), cover, label and freeze. If you thaw overnight, just cook the hour. If cooking from frozen state, add ten minutes or so, check for doneness.

I've made a lot of broccoli/rice casseroles and always felt guilty for all the fat that was in them. I liked this recipe because of the (no cheese whiz) and lack of added butter the other recipes have. It comes out perfect without all that added fat and calories! I used cream of celery soup (just a preference) and minced dry onion (1 Tbs) as changes. I also baked it with the casserole lid on since there wasn't much liquid added and topped it with a little cheddar at the end. This is a keeper for sure! Pam
