    I’m so excited to try this Marilyn and I’m thrilled it uses brown rice. I have to get away from the minute and white rice and convert to healthier grains so this will be great! Thanks for sharing

    Thanks for Sharing on Coffee and Conversation, this looks divine. I’m glad I am not the only one still serving up casseroles. My kids think I am stuck in the 50’s even though I am an 80’s girl. Anyways I make something kinda like this but no beans, leftover chicken instead, almost everything else is the same. I am going to switch and see what it taste like thanks for the experiment.

    The title to this dish caught my eye. My 2 year old loves every single thing in it: the cheese, the rice, and the broccoli, so it’s a definite must try for our household. Thanks so much for sharing this with us, Marilyn. So glad I found you on Tuesday Talk this week.

    I love this casserole and I make it often! I add some cauliflower too and usually use cream of mushroom soup, haven’t tried it with white beans yet but definitely will give that a go. Kids love it too so it’s an added bonus!
