Ingredients
Instructions
In a large pot over medium to medium-high heat, cook and stir together the diced 1 small onion (if using), 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup, 1/2 cup milk, 4-6 ounces Velveeta, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper till warm and creamy.
Add the 3 cups cooked rice and 1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli or broccoli florets* to the cheese sauce and stir to combine.
Pour the broccoli cheese mixture into a greased 9x13" glass baking dish. Top with 2 cups grated cheddar cheese and French's fried onions (use as much as you'd like).
Bake in a preheated oven at 350ºF for 35-40 minutes and until it's hot and bubbly. If you notice the fried onions getting too brown, you can cover the dish lightly with foil. But you do want the onions to get crispy.
Once cooked, allow casserole to cool for about 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
