I love broccoli cheese together, but I wouldn’t use processed cheese or cream of mushroom soup. Shredded cheese and a more natural soup base – milk, flour, chicken broth.
Noah Diaz
Yes! Hubby loved this recipe. I added meat. I knew with cheese and rice my husband would be very happy. The extra plus was a little-added ground venison. Just for the two of us, I have extra for another day. Which will be soon. Because this was a big hit.

I did not make this nor will I ever. I don’t understand why there is a need for canned or preprocessed ingridients? It really does not take that much time or energy to make everything from scratch with fresh ingredients. You will eat healthier and live longer. If I was ever to make this recipe, I would absolutely change it around big time, and it will be much healthier and probably contain less calories etc.

I make this with a jar of white cheese sauce (alfredo) and add cauliflower. So yummy!!! The cream of mushroom soup is perfect with this!!!!

I give it a 5 only because I’ve never successfully executed this before. I made a few adjustments: I boiled the rice and broccoli separately. I also boiled Boneless Chicken breasts that I seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder and Old Bay. I also had a package of seasoning blend that I boiled with the chicken. I mixed the rice, cheese (velvetta and shredded cheese, no canned cheese is welcomed here) and cream of mushroom in the baking dish. I mixed in the broccoli and drained the chicken stock to the mixture for moisture. I cut the chicken and mixed it in, then topped it off with more shredded cheese. 10 minutes in the oven to melt the cheese and it was done.

Love it!!! I kept it simple add some milk and use shredded cheese

I added a can of cream of chicken soup and used cheez wiz. It is very cheesy and I found it to be very thick in the casserole dish after baking. I added small amounts of water to this finished product to loosen it up a little consistency wise. A very good cheesy rice and broccoli recipe will make again.

There was nothing really special about this recipe. Just standard Broccoli and cheese casserole. Not a five star in my opinion.
John Blake
I really liked this recipe, very tasty. I think next time I will use a little more rice, and maybe try the suggestion of cream soup. As is, if you like cheesy, cheesy rice and broccoli, this is definitely the dish for you!

Made it last night, it was good, and my kids liked it. BUT…(hehe)I didn’t have any cheese sauce, so I used a can of cheddar soup with just a touch of milk. And added some shredded cheese while it was on the stovetop.

Delicious – this was a great way to get my family to eat vegetables. I added chicken and a can of cream of chicken soup and made it awesome meal.
Benjamin White
This was good..but I gave it less stars because I modified the recipe a bit. I used plain white short-grain rice instead of yellow. I also added cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, pepper, and sauted onions to my sauce. I topped it all off with extra shredded cheddar cheese and french-fried onions.
Carol Miller

This is a great recipe, however, as previous “chefs” had advised, I also used a can of cream of mushroom soup! The taste was great, although it was a bit too sticky. Definitely should have added More water! Made it for my family Christmas dinner & my son ate TWO Huge helpings!! I’ll definitely make this again! Very easy too! 😉 Thanks for sharing!!
