Freezer Meals: Cheesy Broccoli Rice Casserole


This recipe, from the USU extension office, uses 2 cups of the cheese sauce from my recipe for Magic Mix. This cream sauce master mix is located on this blog. Or you can substitute 2 cups of store bought cheese sauce if you'd like.

Jan's tip: You can easily add cooked and shredded chicken breast to this recipe to make it a main dish.

⅓ cup chopped onion
1 tsp. butter or margarine
1 package frozen broccoli, chopped
2 cups cooked rice
Salt and pepper to taste

2. Break up broccoli. Mix onion, broccoli, and rice. Place in greased casserole dish. Add

3. Make cheese sauce; pour over rice mixture.
