Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups uncooked white rice
- 2 cups frozen or fresh broccoli florets
- 2 can (10.5 ounces) Campbell’s Cream of Celery Soup
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 cups chicken broth, 2 cups to blanch the broccoli, and 1 cup when you are mixing the rice and the soup. (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian version)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Cooking spray or butter for greasing the slow cooker
Instructions
- Spray the inside of your crockpot with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- Add to the Crockpot or I used my Ninja Possible Cooker Pro the 2 cups of uncooked rice, 1 cup of chicken broth (this would be the 3rd cup of rice at this time), 2 cans of cream of celery soup, and 1/ teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Mix well and then add the 2 cups of cheddar cheese and stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on high for 1 hour. After 1 hour stir and see if the rice is cooked. Depending on how hot your Crockpot gets it may take anywhere from 1 hour and 1.5 hours until the rice is cooked.
- When the casserole is done sprinkle with extra cheddar cheese.
Notes
- I updated this recipe on April 16, 2024, when I saw the high price of Ritz Crackers and fresh broccoli. I wanted to make this recipe as budget-friendly as possible so the only topping is additional cheddar cheese and used frozen broccoli from Costo.
