Cheesy Broccoli Rice Casserole – Creamy, Comforting & Family-Friendly

1. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until the cheese topping is melted, golden, and bubbly.

6️⃣ Cool & Serve:

1. Let the casserole sit for 5–10 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors settle and makes it easier to scoop.
2. Serve warm, either as a standalone main dish or alongside grilled meats, soups, or salads.

💡 Tips & Variations

• Make it vegetarian: Skip the chicken and use cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup instead.
• Shortcut tip: Use frozen broccoli florets — just thaw and drain before adding.
• Extra flavor: Stir in a few dashes of hot sauce or Dijon mustard for a subtle kick.
• Make ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before, refrigerate, and bake when ready to serve.

This Cheesy Broccoli Rice Casserole is creamy comfort food at its best — perfect for weeknights or any meal that calls for easy, melty satisfaction.
