Cheesy Broccoli and Rice Casserole image

I came up with this recipe because we love the Creamy Four Cheese Rice A Roni and I needed a side dish for last years Thanksgiving dinner at my Mom's. The flavor from the Rice A Roni is delicious and adding the broccoli,mushrooms and water chestnuts took it over the top! Makes a great addition to your holiday meal or any family...

Yummy! This casserole is a new favorite in our house. The kids love the cheese and the adults love the broccoli. It's a great way to get everyone to eat their vegetables.

Disappointed. The casserole looked beautiful coming out of the oven, but the flavors were just so-so. The broccoli was a bit too crunchy and the cheese sauce was kind of bland. I think I'll stick to my old broccoli casserole recipe.

Easy peasy! This casserole was a breeze to make and turned out great. I especially liked the crispy cheese topping. I served it with a side salad and it was a perfect meal.

Delicious! This casserole was everything I hoped it would be and more. The broccoli was tender-crisp, the cheese sauce was rich and creamy, and the rice was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be adding this recipe to my regular rotation.

Not bad! The casserole was cheesy and gooey, just how I like it. However, I found the rice to be a bit too mushy for my taste. Next time, I'll try using a different type of rice, maybe a long-grain variety.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover rice and broccoli. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time and reheat for a quick and easy meal. I like to add some cooked chicken or sausage to mine for extra protein.

Meh. It was okay. The recipe was easy to follow and the casserole cooked evenly, but the flavors were just kind of bland. I think it needed more seasoning or maybe some additional vegetables.
