A delightful twist on the classic casserole, this dish combines creamy textures with a cheesy finish.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion and celery until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the butter from browning too much.
Cook the broccoli according to package instructions, then drain well.
Ensure the broccoli is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the casserole.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked broccoli, sautéed vegetables, cooked rice, and hot sauce.
Mix gently to keep the broccoli florets intact.
Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish and sprinkle with cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs.
Use panko breadcrumbs for a crunchier topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to set.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious casserole!
Pair with a side salad for a complete meal.
