A creamy, cheesy blend of rice and tender broccoli, this comforting casserole is a weeknight staple that even picky eaters will enjoy. Sharp cheddar adds richness, while a touch of garlic and onion powder brings just the right depth. Serve it as a main or hearty side—it’s a dish that disappears fast.

Ingredients (for 6-8 servings):

• 3 cups cooked white or brown rice
• 4 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

3. In a large bowl, mix rice, broccoli, 1½ cups cheddar, soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Spread mixture into the baking dish and top with remaining cheese.
5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until bubbly and golden on top. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
