Broccoli Rice Casserole
My mom made this dish all the time when I was little. It was one of my favorites. This dish is very easy to prepare and only takes about 25 minutes from start to finish. I add smoked sausage to mine but it's just as good without. Even my most picky eaters (my kids) like this dish. This cheesy rice and broccoli combo is sure to become a family favorite at your house too! Give it a try!

I like to add sliced smoked sausage to this casserole.

Cook sausage in a 400 degree oven for about 15 – 20 minutes.

Slice sausage and add in when you add the velveeda.
