Meme Wales' Broccoli Rice Casserole image

This is my grandmother's recipe, as she gave it to me. I have modified it somewhat, as indicated in the footnotes, but either version is excellent. It will be the taste of Thanksgiving to me, now and forever.

This casserole is a great way to sneak vegetables into your kids' diet. My kids love it and they don't even realize they're eating broccoli.

This casserole is a great make-ahead meal. I often make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week. It's a great way to have a home-cooked meal without having to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
