Alice’s Broccoli Rice Casserole

Alice, in 1986

 

This creamy casserole will persuade you to eat your vegetables! I love broccoli and rice also, so combining them is the best. 

Alice, my mother-in-law loved this recipe and she had a good reason for that, because it is delicious.  It is so very easy and tastes great.  Broccoli Rice Casserole makes an excellent side dish; however, by adding a couple of sautéed cut-up chicken breasts to it, you’ll have an entrée.  Or, adding salmon or tuna would work well also.  That would make a full meal!

It’s a great winter casserole and that is just what we need right now.  By the way, it is just as good leftover!
