This Easy and Quick One Pot Meal Broccoli Rice Casserole is the Perfect Dinner Recipe for Those Busy Weeknights. It’s One of My Favorite Comfort Foods (Ver. 2)



Who doesn’t love a good broccoli rice casserole? For me, it is comfort food at its best.

All that ooey gooey cheese melted over a broccoli, corn and rice delights the kid in me. I topped it in sriracha sauce and IT. WAS. HEAVENLY!!

I am always asked for rice recipes and easy casserole recipes. So, I thought it would be fund to combine both requests into one recipe.

Weeknight dinners are always a challenge. I want to include delicious, hearty meals, yet, I don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen?

This is a one skillet recipe that is going to come together really quickly and there is going to be very little cleanup!

Yes!!

I can’t tell you how much I love “little cleanup” types of recipes. The cooking process is so much fun, but, not the cleanup!

On most days, my kitchen looks like a tornado went through it. I have no idea what my kitchen sink looks like because its always hidden by dirty dishes and pans!

So, when I have a recipe that will allow me to see what my sink looks like (like this broccoli cheese rice casserole), I am a happy camper!

For this recipe, I used Jasmine rice because its the perfect consistency for a casserole. You can use basmati rice or brown rice.

Did you do a double take? Occasionally, I will revisit previous recipes and do a makeover on them. You probably came to this page based on the photo to the left? However, I decided to re-vamp the recipe and bring you the new version you see above. I think you will like.
