With Thanksgiving past us and onto the holiday cooking this broccoli and rice casserole is definitely going on my list of things to make. It tastes so delicious! When I first read about this recipe being “addicting” I scoffed.
I mean, really, how good can a broccoli and cheese casserole really be? We’ve all had it a dozen or so times before, maybe even more! Yes, it’s good but is it that good?
The answer is “yes.” It really is that good and I’ll tell you why. There is one simple little ingredient in this casserole that makes the world of difference. can you guess what it is? Cheez Whiz.
Now, before you go turning up your nose just hear me out. I understand that Cheez Whiz isn’t the healthiest thing on the market and it is also loaded with sodium, however, it makes this casserole taste like a million bucks. And keep in mind that it is the holidays and we are allowed to indulge. Enjoy!
For my husband’s family Thanksgiving, the hostess requested that I bring a vegetable casserole. I was more than happy to oblige because it just so happens that one of my FAVORITE FOODS EVER is this broccoli and rice casserole that my mom makes every Thanksgiving. I’ve mentioned this particular casserole a couple times before when describing other delicious broccoli/cheese foods.
However, nothing comes close to this amazing casserole. When I got married, my grandmother got all of my family’s hand-written recipes and compiled them in a cookbook for me (which is awesome and the best gift ever). My mom (thankfully) put the recipe for this casserole that she knows I’m addicted to. – Normal Cooking
