Tips:

When choosing chestnuts for your casserole, look for ones that are plump and shiny. Avoid chestnuts that are cracked or have blemishes.
To peel chestnuts, score an X on the bottom of each chestnut and roast in a 400°F oven for 15-20 minutes. Once roasted, the chestnuts can be easily peeled.
If you don't have time to roast chestnuts, you can use canned chestnuts instead. Be sure to rinse and drain them before using.
To make the broccoli rice, simply steam or boil broccoli florets until tender. Once cooked, chop the broccoli into small pieces and add it to the casserole.
For a vegetarian version of this casserole, omit the bacon. You can also add other vegetables, such as diced carrots or celery.
Serve the broccoli rice chestnut casserole hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Broccoli rice chestnut casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover broccoli and chestnuts. The combination of broccoli, rice, chestnuts, and cheese creates a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
