I made this on Christmas Day, and it was the best I’ve made yet. I used colby jack cheese, and topped it with sharp cheddar. I used cream of chicken-mushroom soup. I grabbed 2 cans from a bin at the store, and when I got home – one of the cans was “light” Italian Wedding soup. Luckily, I had a can of cream of mushroom soup in the pantry. I would have added an additional can of either cream of mushroom or chicken if I had it,but the extra cheese made it taste great. It was a big hit, and this is now my “official” broccoli cheese rice recipe.

This recipe looks awesome. I have fond memories of my granny serving this dish at the holidays and I wanted to share a comfort food dish with the people that are having hard times. I just multiplied the recipe by 5 and made a giant batch of your recipe to donate to the dinner for the homeless today. Thanks for sharing and know that your recipe was brought to life for many.

This looks great. I have been looking for a broc/cheese/rice casserole recipe that did not include Velveeta. Thanks so much. Can’t wait to try it!

Thank You so much!
You rescued my Thanksgiving.
For me, This was always my favorite Childhood Memory /holiday. I loved how my family would all come together & there would always be a variety of food to choose from. ( Seeing as how I have a huge Family and all.) My dad is a Kitchen Chef , therefor my mothers family would have him do the Turkey, stuffing , mashed potatoes, cornbread, gravy, & all the different pies each year from scratch. The little that was left to make would be done by one of my 7 aunts. Besides my dad’s cooking the only other thing that was memorable and I absolutely looked forward to each year was my aunt Mary’s Broccoli rice & cheese casserole. This leads me to where I am now: Ten years in the present, Pregnant & craving, 1,651 mi away from all family, living in the middle of the Mojave Desert on a small Army Base with just my Husband & daughter, and trying to think of what I can make to gratify my all time favorite Thanksgiving dinner memories. So began my mission to find a Broccoli rice & cheese recipe that would substitute the casserole my aunt made every Thanksgiving. Only I was disappointed seeing most recipes I found added Velveeta cheese or Cheese Whiz. That is until I found this one. It looks just as delicious as I remembered it. Can’t wait to try. I will then let you know how good it was.

Thank you!!!

I have been searching and searching for a broc/cheese/rice recipe that did NOT have cheez whiz or velveeta!!!! this sounds like exactly what I want – cant wait to try it.

I cant add this to my thanksgiving line up because we already have too many sides for our little family of 6… but it will definitely show up on our table

btw – my thanksgiving must haves … Turkey (ham only if we have a lot of extra people), mashed potatoes, cornbread stuffing (fam recipe!), green bean casserole, corn, rolls, gravy, apple pie. (this year I am testing Paula Dean’s toffee banana pie as well) I LOVE THANKSGIVING!
