Prep Time: 35 Minutes
Oven Temperature: 350 Degrees Fahrenheit
Baking Time: 25 – 30 Minutes 
13 X 9 Casserole Pan

Cheesy Broccoli Rice Casserole Ingredients:

2 Cups Uncooked Brown Rice (Cooks up to be about 6 – 7 Cups of Brown Rice)
3 Teaspoons Chicken Bullion (We use Better Than Bullion)
4 Tablespoons Fresh Minced Garlic (About 4 Cloves)
5 Cups Frozen Broccoli
1 Cup Yogurt
2 Teaspoons Salt
1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
1 1/2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese

TIP: If You are using Canned Chicken Bullion, then replace the Water needed with Bullion in Cooking the Rice or do Half Water and Half Bullion!

Cheesy Broccoli Rice Casserole Instructions:

1. First thing to do, is to cook the Brown Rice in a Pan with a Lid on the Stovetop. Add 2 Cups Brown Rice with 5 1/2 Cups of Water. Then add 3 Teaspoons of Chicken Bullion and 4 Tablespoons of Fresh Minced Garlic. Mix up and then put the lid on and cook for about 35 Minutes (might be more time) on High Simmer (our stove says 3 for this Temperature).

TIP: If you have time, we have found it helps to let the Brown Rice and Water soak in the pan for about 15 – 20 Minutes before cooking! Brown Rice can be hard to get soft sometimes. 

2. While the Brown Rice is Cooking, this is a great time to Cook the Broccoli. Put the Frozen Broccoli in Pan with some water and cook. We like to cook them to be soft for this casserole. 

3. After the Brown Rice and Broccoli are done, add them to a pan or mixing bowl. Make sure to drain the Broccoli. Now add the Yogurt, Salt and Black Pepper. 

4. Mix up all the Ingredients, then in a 13 X 9 Casserole Pan, put all the Casserole mixture in the pan, spread it around to make even. Sprinkle all the Cheese on top!

5. PreHeat the Oven at 350 Degrees F. Put the Casserole in the Oven and Bake for 25 – 30 Minutes. Take out and let cool a couple of minutes before Serving!
