Broccoli Cheese Rice Casserole (Vegetarian) image

This is a very good and creamy Brocolli and Cheese Rice Casserole. It originally called for Cream of Chicken soup, but my girlfriend is a vegetarian, so I have substituted it for Cream of Mushroom and found that it does not loose much flavor.

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1 (10 ounce) package frozen broccoli, cooked and drained
1/4 cup butter
1 (8 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
3 cups wild rice
2/3 garlic clove
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a skillet melt the butter.
  • Sauté onion and garlic, until onions are tender. Set aside to cool.
  • Steam the frozen broccoli until thawed, then drain well. Let cool.
  • Cook wild rice according to directions. (Use any type of rice desired; wild rice is exceptionally good in this recipe).
  • It is important to allow the warm ingredients to cool before mixing everything together so the cheese doesn't melt too soon.
  • When sufficiently cool, reserve 1/2 cup of the cheese and mix remaining ingredients together. Put in a oven-proof baking dish or casserole dish (or 2 if needed).
  • Spread reserved 1/2 cup of cheese on top. Cover with foil.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, remove foil; bake an additional 5 to 15 minutes, or until cheese on top is hot and bubbly.
