Layered Broccoli-Rice Casserole...(No Canned Soup) image

I am not a big fan of cooking with soup in a can, so I searched everywhere to find a broccoli casserole that did not contain soup. I found this site by Paula and it was exactly what I was looking for. I made this and it is so delicious. You can also use the chopped frozen broccoli.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 c (10 ounces) fresh broccoli florets and stems, chopped (stems should be very finely chopped)
1/2 lemon
1/2 c chopped onions
1 clove garlic minced
1 celery stalk, chopped
2 Tbsp butter
1 c mushrooms, sliced
1 Tbsp flour
12 oz can regular evaporated milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp white pepper
2 c cheddar cheese, shredded
1, 1/4 c rice, cooked

Steps:

  • 1. First: Steam (about 3 minutes on HIGH) chopped broccoli and stems until tender but still bright green. Squeeze lemon over broccoli.
  • 2. Second: Melt butter in skillet. Add onions, garlic, celery and mushrooms and saute' until softened. Stir in flour and cook about one minute to take away the raw flour taste. Whisk in milk and continue whisking until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1, 1/2 cup cheese and stir to melt. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 1/2 cup cheese and stir to melt. Sauce will thicken more as it sits.
  • 3. Third: Combine broccoli, rice, and cheese sauce. Turn into 1, 1/2 quart greased casserole dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
  • 4. Bake at 350 degrees F until bubbly. I usually cook for 45 minutes.

This casserole was a disaster! The broccoli was overcooked and the cheese sauce was watery. I will not be making this again.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. However, the texture was good and it was easy to make.
