Equipment

  • 9x13-inch casserole dish
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Oven
  • Butter or pastry brush

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans cream of mushroom soup
  • 15- ounce jar of Cheez Whiz
  • 1/4 cup butter melted (plus additional for greasing the baking dish)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 32 ounces frozen chopped broccoli thawed
  • 2 cups cooked rice parboiled “minute rice”
  • 1 medium onion diced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter and set it aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, Cheez Whiz, and melted butter. Add the milk and stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
