MOM'S GREEN RICE



Mom's Green Rice image

MY MOTHER-IN-LAW always served green rice with her chicken casserole. She was a great cook, and the local newspaper featured her several times as "cook of the week". This creation of hers is one of our family's favorites. I'm thrilled to share it with Reminisce readers. -Nancy Beatty, Springfield, Illinois

GREEN RICE (CHEESY BROCCOLI RICE)



Green Rice (Cheesy Broccoli Rice) image

This recipe contains green chiles which is different from the other recipes posted. We make this every year for Thanksgiving and we fight over the left overs. We usually double the recipe. Feel free to use more or less broccoli to suit your tastes. You can increase the ratio of rice to broccoli if you have picky eaters. If you increase the amount of rice also increase the amount of Cheez Whiz.

GREEN RICE CASSEROLE



Green Rice Casserole image

I grew up eating this at family parties and requested the recipe from my Aunt while I was in college. It is tasty and transports well if you're going to a potluck. Use it as a side dish or a vegetarian one dish meal with some crusty bread. I like it cold though it designed to be served hot.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups instant rice
1 cup boiling water
2/3 cup milk
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 lb shredded American cheese
1/2 cup oil
1 chopped onion
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 package frozen chopped broccoli

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cook and drain the broccoli.
  • Mix all ingredients in a large baking dish.
  • Bake for 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality rice: The type of rice you use will greatly impact the final dish. Choose a short-grain or medium-grain rice, such as arborio or carnaroli, for a creamy and flavorful risotto.
  • Toast the rice: Toasting the rice before adding the liquid helps to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will also contribute to the flavor of the risotto. Choose a flavorful broth, such as chicken, vegetable, or seafood broth.
  • Cook the risotto slowly and stir frequently: Risotto is a slow-cooked dish that requires patience and attention. Stir the risotto frequently to prevent it from sticking to the pot and to help release the starches that create the creamy texture.
  • Add the cheese and butter at the end: Once the risotto is cooked, stir in the cheese and butter until melted and creamy. This will help to create a rich and decadent sauce for the risotto.
  • Serve immediately: Risotto is best served immediately after it is cooked. The rice will continue to absorb liquid as it sits, so it is important to serve it while it is still creamy and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Green rice with cheese is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it can be easily customized with different vegetables, cheeses, and herbs. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish for a dinner party, green rice is a great option.
