Ingredients

  • 2 cups instant rice (480 ml)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (60 g)
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion (180 ml)
  • 2 (280 g) packages frozen chopped broccoli
  • 2 (305 g) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (450 g) jar cheese sauce

Instructions

  1. Begin by assembling all the necessary ingredients. Set your oven to a temperature of 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and allow it to warm up.
  2. Prepare the instant rice as per the instructions on its packaging, and cook the broccoli according to its package directions; ensure both are well-drained afterward.

  4. Mix the broccoli, cooked rice, sautéed onions, condensed cream of mushroom soup, and cheese sauce in a bowl. Season the mixture with salt and ground black pepper to your liking.
  5. Pour the combined mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  6. Place in the oven and bake until the top turns golden, which should take between 30 to 40 minutes.
  7. Serve and savor!

Notes

  • Consider using a variety of cheeses to enhance the flavor of the cheese sauce.
  • Add cooked chicken or tofu for an additional protein boost.
  • Serve with garlic bread or a salad to make it a complete meal.
