April Recipe Challenge: Cheesy Broccoli Rice Casserole
Happy April, friends! It’s time to announce this month’s recipe challenge! This month, in anticipation of celebrating the Easter holiday, we’re making my Easy Cheesy Broccoli Rice Casserole. It’s a classic and comforting side dish that’s great for a weeknight meal and a must-have on your holiday buffet.



Tips for This Recipe
- To make it a meal, stir in one of these proteins before baking: pulled rotisserie chicken, diced ham, cooked ground beef or ground turkey
- If you don’t have time to bake the broccoli rice mixture, you can serve it straight from the skillet without the additional melted cheese and potato chips on top. We just love the added cheesiness from the cheese on top and the crispness from the potato chips.
- To Make Your Own Cream of Chicken Soup, simply melt 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Rapidly whisk in 3 tablespoons flour until a thick crumbly paste forms, about 2 minutes. Whisk in 3/4 cup chicken broth and then 3/4 cup milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
