• Cooking spray or butter for greasing the slow cooker

Instructions:

1. Spray the inside of your crockpot with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. In a large saute pan add 2 cups of chicken broth and the frozen broccoli and cook for 5 minutes to get the broccoli defrosted and the broth hot.

4. Mix together and add the 2 cups of cheddar cheese.
5. Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on high for 1 hour. After 1 hour stir and see if the rice is done. Depending on how hot your Crockpot gets it may take anywhere from 1 to 1.5 hours to get the rice to cook.

Hints and Tricks:

1. Make sure to spray the crockpot well to make sure nothing sticks for serving and easy cleanup.
2. When adding the recipe to the crockpot, make sure to evenly distribute the mixture. This helps ensure uniform cooking and flavor throughout the casserole.
3. If you’re looking for a great way to have an extra layer of flavor, a great addition would be to saute onions and add a little garlic powder and add them to the mixture.
