- 1 package of success boil in a bag brown rice
- 1 onion minced
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 cup of frozen broccoli
- 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheese
- 1 cup of water
- 1 cup of veggie broth
let’s talk about brown rice for a moment…i’m not a fan.
i might as well bring this up too, i really am not a fan of anything whole grain (except bread).
you know what? i might as will bring this up too. i will only drink whole milk.
i’m a good example right (insert huge grin here)…i’m trying.
and then i decided to make a brown rice casserole…this i thought would be a good introduction to our new rice…brown rice (or as my kids call it, dirty rice).
it’s as simple as throwing everything into a oven proof dish. prep, 5 minutes. cheese, use your favorite kind (i used a goats milk gouda, great choice). broccoli, use frozen if you have. it’s one of those simple one pot sides.
great idea to introduce your family to brown rice (if you are like me and refused it for so long). great idea for a quick side. very kid and adult friendly.
brown rice and broccoli casserole
just because i have to write this, please don’t laugh. take the rice out of the bag 
you can use regular old brown rice but this cooks faster and you can keep it uncovered. if you use regular brown rice it takes longer to cook. cover for 30, cover off for 10 or 15.
- pre-heat your oven to 350.
- to a casserole dish or dutch oven add brown rice, onion, garlic, broccoli, mushrooms, half the cheese, broth and water. mix. add reserved cheese to the top.
- bake for 30 minutes uncovered.
happy friday!
M,
Need I remind you that quinoa is a whole grain? And I know you eat it since I’ve made your recipes! Okay, technically maybe not a grain but you know what I’m getting at! I think you keep up with Nicole W. but do you read her blog? http://www.thoughtfulthingstodo.com/2012/03/for-you-friday_30.html Today’s topic was taking a 30 day challenge to make a small change! How fitting! “Bob” didn’t use to like brown rice either but now he is a fan! I’m not sure that address linked correctly and since I’m so not tech savvy I’ll just e-mail it to you!
p.s. You know I read every post even if I almost never comment!
I read Nicole’s blog all the time. I am a huge fan
Ok, I guess I do like “grains”
just a little.
Hey!! Ok so if I’m going to use reg brown rice for this, not the quick cooking kind, how do I adjust the timing/liquid??!
I would cover it for 30 minutes then check on it. Add about 1/2 cup more stock or water.
