A delightful twist on the classic casserole, combining creamy cheese, tender broccoli, and fluffy rice for a comforting dish.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen broccoli, instant rice, shredded cheddar cheese, condensed cream of mushroom soup, and milk. Mix until well combined.
Ensure the broccoli is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Transfer the mixture into a 9x13 baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Use a spatula to smooth the top for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Check after 40 minutes to avoid over-browning.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious creation!
Allowing it to cool slightly makes serving easier and safer.
