Instructions

1

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Prepare the broccoli

If using fresh broccoli, steam until tender-crisp. If using frozen, thaw completely and drain well.

Pro tip: Steaming preserves nutrients and colour.

3

Mix the ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup, half of the cheddar cheese, milk, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir in the broccoli and cooked rice until well combined.

Pro tip: Ensure rice is evenly distributed for consistent flavour.

4

Assemble the casserole

Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish. Spread it evenly.

5

Add cheese topping

Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture.

Pro tip: For extra crunch, add 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs.

6

Bake the casserole

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.

Pro tip: Let it cool for a few minutes to set before serving.
