A delightful and easy-to-make casserole featuring broccoli, rice, and a cheesy topping.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
Greasing the dish ensures easy cleanup and prevents sticking.
Steam the broccoli florets in a microwave-safe bowl until tender, about 4 minutes.
Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap to trap steam.
In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté the onions until softened.
Cook over medium heat to avoid burning the butter.
Add the rice to the saucepan and stir to coat with butter.
Toasting the rice enhances its flavor.
Pour in the chicken broth and half-and-half, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the rice is cooked.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Mix the cooked rice, steamed broccoli, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the mixture is evenly combined for consistent flavor.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
Spread the mixture evenly for uniform baking.
Mix the bread crumbs with melted butter and sprinkle over the casserole.
The topping adds a delightful crunch to the dish.
Bake in the oven until the top is golden and the casserole is bubbly, about 15 minutes.
Keep an eye on the topping to prevent over-browning.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Cooling allows the flavors to meld and makes serving easier.
