Broccoli-Rice Casserole
Makes about 6 servings
Ingredients
- 5 cups roughly chopped fresh broccoli florets
- 1½ cups converted rice,* cooked according to package directions

- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ cup fresh bread crumbs, toasted
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Fill a medium saucepan with water, and bring to a boil. Add broccoli, and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain.
