Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh broccoli florets

1 cup cooked white rice (or brown rice)

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup cream of mushroom soup (store-bought or homemade)

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup French fried onions (for topping)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Blanch the Broccoli: In a pot of boiling salted water, add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green but still crisp. Drain and set aside.

      Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, shredded cheddar cheese, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until well combined. Taste and adjust salt as needed.

        Add Broccoli: Gently fold the blanched broccoli into the mixture until evenly coated.

          Prepare Casserole Dish: Lightly grease a 9x13 inch (or similar size) casserole dish with olive oil. Pour the broccoli mixture into the dish and spread it evenly.

            Add Topping: Sprinkle the French fried onions evenly over the top of the casserole to give it a nice crunch.

              Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until it is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.

                Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. This will help the casserole set a bit. Enjoy your Cheesy Broccoli Delight Casserole!
