"This is one of my favorite casseroles and it's very versatile, just keep the first ten ingredients the same, although the condensed soup flavors may be changed and you can add in cooked chicken or turkey, also lightly steamed cauliflower florets can be subbed for the broccoli if so desired. Prep time does not include cooking the rice or steaming the broccoli. This may be completely prepared and refrigerated until ready to bake, remove for the fridge about 1 hour before baking. You will love this!"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cook the rice in 2 cups of water until the rice is tender. (I use a little less water because I prefer a firmer texture). Cool the rice slightly, you can make the rice a day ahead if you prefer.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Position oven rack to lowest position.
Step 3
Butter a 11 x 7-inch casserole dish.
Step 4
In a large bowl whisk the condensed soup with next 8 ingredients together until smooth.
Step 5
Mix in the cooked rice until well combined, then the green onions, steamed broccoli florets and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Transfer/spread in buttered casserole dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese
NOTE: at this point you can refrigerate until ready to bake, remove from fridge 1 hour before baking
Step 6
Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
Step 7
Remove from oven, sprinkle with remaining 1 cup (or more) shredded cheddar cheese. Place back in the oven for about 10-15 minutes.
