This Broccoli Cheese & Rice Casserole pairs so well with any meat dish from pork to steak….it just goes together! What I love most of all is that your kids will actually eat it (they think they are eating just cheese and rice and you get to sneak in a veggie for them too)!

This sounds delicious. I also have a microwave recipe that is very similar and you don’t have to heat your house in the summer time. Can’t wait to try this one out when it is cooler here in AZ. 🙂
