Cheesy Broccoli Rice Casserole
1/2 cup water
1 stalk broccoli, broken into florets
1 medium onion, diced
3 cups cooked brown rice
1 (10 ounce) can vegan cream of mushroom soup or other creamed soup
salt and pepper, to taste
1 (8 ounce) package or 1 cup grated vegan cheddar cheese
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a casserole dish. In medium sized pan, pour in 1/2 cup water and add broccoli and onion.
2. Simmer over medium heat until broccoli is just slightly soft. Save water. In a prepared casserole dish, add cooked rice, broccoli, onions, and their water along with cream of mushroom soup.
3. Mix well. May need to add more water if mixture is too thick. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle grated cheese on top.
4. Put in oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until knife goes through dish and comes out clean.
This is unbelievably delicious.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
Just a note for this great recipe...
I buy mushroom broth in the carton then whisk in some tofutti
sour cream. Instant cream of mushroom soup!
I substituted whole grain bow-tie pasta for rice and it tasted wonderful! Just cut down on the amount of water because there is no rice to absorb it all. I topped it off with some bread crumbs (mixed with Parmesan cheese) and it was divine ;D
