Broccoli Rice Casserole Recipe
Broccoli Rice Casserole is a favorite at the Stokes home, and tonight we have a guest cook to help us make it. We first became acquainted with this dish at a local Piccadilly cafeteria, and decided to make it at home.
We didn’t really have a starting recipe, so this Broccoli Rice Casserole recipe is the result of just an idea and knowing what we like. One thing is for sure, we knew we wanted more cheese in and on it!
This is a Cajun recipes side item that we make whenever the kids come over, because they all love it.
It’s really easy to make, you can use either fresh or frozen broccoli, and the little ones can help you grate the cheese.

Thanks Perry……
This recipe looks great!! I can’t wait to try it out this week. We’ve been trying ( and I use trying loosely) to eat healthier and was wondering if you used white or brown rice? I’m trying to get used to brown, but I don’t want the dish to taste “rubbery” or like “cardboard”, should I stick to the white rice? Thank you! And I love your videos(I think I’ve said that too many times on youtube already:)!! Take Care. Gina

Hello, I too stumbled across your site via “recipe4living”. My hubby and I lived in Walker,La. for almost 10 yrs before we moved to Maine. And thank goodness they sell Tony T’s cajun seasoning. I use it all the time. Maine food is so bland compared to La. cookin’!!! I’m excited to try all recipes I can from your site. The videos are great as is your little doggie and family and I think you both are so sweet, God Bless.
