Velveeta Broccoli Casserole

This is a great simple broccoli dish the kids will love. It’s very cheese, but also quite economical. Great for potlucks or as a side dish with baked or grilled chicken. It goes together pretty quickly and is a rather frugal recipe. I hope you will give it try.

Velveeta Broccoli Casserole Recipe

• 2 packs of frozen broccoli
• 1 med. onion
• a little oil or margarine to saute the onion in (optional)
• 1 can cream of anything soup (homemade is fine)
• 1 c. milk
• 1/2 lb. Velveeta cheese
• 3 c. rice, cooked

Start by dicing your onion and sauteing it in the oil or margarine just until it is soft and starts to get translucent. Cook your broccoli for a few minutes in boiling water until it is tender. Drain the broccoli well.

Mix all ingredients (including the cooked broccoli and onion) together. I usually do this right in the  greased casserole dish. If you prefer you could also mix everything in a large bowl and then pour it into your casserole dish. I cut the cheese into small cubes before I add it to the mix.

Bake everything at 350 F for 45 minutes.

If you’d like you can pour a few crushed crackers or some breadcrumbs on top of the casserole before baking. It will give it a nice golden crust. Serve your Velveeta broccoli casserole hot. Refrigerate any leftovers and reheat them the next day.
