Cheesy Rice Casserole with Broccoli

Get out your cast iron skillet! It is time to get it sizzlin’! 

This Cheesy Rice Casserole with Broccoli is so versatile!

I like to call this this a dump and go comfort recipe.

All the ingredients are either fresh or canned.

You just need to add chicken broth to the rice and heat.

These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:

  • 2 cups instant brown rice
  • 1 can chicken broth
  • 1 package frozen broccoli florets
  • 1 can white beans
  • 2 cans cream of chicken soup
  • 4 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp dry minced onion
  • 1 cup milk

These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Prepare brown rice as directed using chicken broth instead of water in cast iron skillet.
  • Rinse and drain beans. Microwave broccoli. Set aside.
  • When rice is done, add cream of chicken soup and milk. Stir.
  • Add broccoli, white beans, garlic salt, pepper and mozzarella cheese to rice mixture.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Stir. Add additional cheese if desired. Bake additional 15 minutes.

Options:

  • Add cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken soup.
  • Add 1/2 rotisserie chicken.
  • Change up veggies add salsa.
  • The possibilities are endless.

Add your other ingredients and then bake.

The hardest decision you need to make is what if any you want to add to spice up the flavor.

Everything is made in one skillet. You can’t get better than a cast iron skillet for a one pot meal.

Trade out the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and add any meat you like.

Substitute water, mushroom soup, and chopped portabella mushrooms for a hearty vegetarian casserole.

Your family will love this easy dish and it is a ONE pan meal ready in under an hour.

Add a veggie and some rolls and dinner is ready!

It is such a great treat when all your loved ones sit at the table and eat their meal at the same time.

It gives you a chance to unwind and talk about your day.

As the kids get older you may learn a few tales you haven’t heard about when they were little.

Being a one pan dish you just need to take it to the table for everyone to serve themselves.

And cleanup is a breeze for whoever draws the short stick!

I just know your family will love this warm and comforting Cheesy Rice Casserole as much as mine.

You can’t get dinner ready any easier this. Try it today and enjoy!

Let me know in the comments below any changes you may make!  I love to hear from my readers!

    Fantastic casserole 🙂 We really love broccoli
    I’d use veggie broth though (we don’t mix chicken/meat with dairy)
    Thanks for this recipe 🙂

      Thank you Winnie for the suggestion! I will try it. I used theotber as I didn’t have access at the time, but the veggie broth is more in keeping this vegetarian style!

    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.

    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!
