Green Rice Casserole

ladypit's Note:

I grew up eating this at family parties and requested the recipe from my Aunt while I was in college. It is tasty and transports well if you're going to a potluck. Use it as a side dish or a vegetarian one dish meal with some crusty bread. I like it cold though it designed to be served hot.

We really enjoyed this dish. Loved the combination of the rice, cheese, soup and broccoli. In fact, I can't wait to take it to our next potluck dinner. It's so easy yet full of flavor. Thank you so much, ladypit, and be sure to thank your Aunt for this great dish.

This is just like the recipe that I have eaten since I was a little girl. The only difference is that we leave out the salt and add a clove of garlic, minced. Also, we use a little more dry instant rice - 2 cups. Wonderful.

This is such a nice dish to serve with just about any meat. We had ours with baked chicken and it was a hit right down to the last drop!
