I make broccoli and rice like this every weekend! Crispy Broccoli Rice Casserole recipe! 🥦🍚🤤

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories without sacrificing flavor.

cream of mushroom soup

🥗Healthier: homemade mushroom sauce

💰Cheaper: cream of chicken soup

Homemade sauce avoids preservatives while being versatile.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil adds healthy fats, while margarine is often less expensive.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor.

Cut the broccoli into pieces.

Fill a pot with boiling water and add the broccoli. Leave for 15 minutes.

In a separate pot, combine 1 cup washed rice with 2 cups water and salt. Cook for 10 minutes under the lid.

Crush the crispy crackers.

Add vegetable oil to the crushed crackers.

Place the cooked rice in a baking dish.

Add the broccoli to the rice.

In a saucepan, combine 5 tbsp heavy cream, 1-2 tsp French mustard, and 100 grams mozzarella. Add 1 cup milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Cook the sauce over low heat until the cheese melts.

Turn off the heat and add the crushed crackers to the sauce. Mix well.

Sprinkle the mixture with the remaining cheese and crushed crackers.

Bake at 200°C/400°F until golden brown.
