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)!

What is a can of milk? 8 ounces? If so, “can” *hee* you use any type? (whole, skim, 2% etc.)
Deborah Brown says
I have the same question. I wonder if it was meant to be 1 cup of milk and was mistyped?
Betty says
By can of milk she means that you use the soup can to measure you milk. Most soup is sold in a can that’s a little over 10 oz. so roughly 1 1/4 cups.
Tracie says
Yep – that is right! Just use the CAN to measure your milk. Gives the perfect amount for your recipe! 🙂
Leigh says
Thanks! Now that I know, it makes sense. *hee* However, to save further misunderstandings, you might put the amounts (Ex. 1 1/4 cups) in parenthesis next to similar unfamiliar amounts.

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. 🙂
