Just a note

Here's the deal: I love to cook, but I don't want to make a meal for 6 people. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one, either. So, over the next few months,I'm going to post recipes so others can enjoy them, too. If you have requests for main ingredients or recipes you want to contribute, email me or leave a comment. If you try the recipes, let me know what you think!


Here's a rough recipe....Let me know how you like it:

Broccoli Rice Casserole:

1 cup frozen broccoli (I usually use more because I love broccoli)
1/2 cup instant rice
1/3 cup of cheeze whiz
1/2 cup of french fried onions
1/3 cup water
1/3 can (about 2 heaping tablespoons) of Cream of Mushroom soup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix broccoli, rice, soup, water and cheeze whiz together in a bowl. Mix in half of the onions. Spread into small casserole dish or oven safe pan (I love my small pyrex pans!) Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Take the pan out (it's gonna be hot...duh...use a pot holder!). Add the remaining french fried onions to the top and put the dish back in the oven. Bake until onions on top are golden brown, about 10 minutes.


I've been itching to add bacon pieces to this recipe, too. I think 2 table spoons...maybe 3 if you really like bacon. :)

Happy cooking!
