Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

Casserole Base:

  • 2 cups uncooked white rice

  • 4 cups water

  • 8 cups broccoli florets, chopped (fresh or frozen)

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 small yellow onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 (10.5-ounce can condensed cream of mushroom soup

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 3 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (divided)

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Pretzel Topping:

  • 3 cups crushed garlic Parmesan pretzels (such as Snyder’s®)

  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  • Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside.


  • Meanwhile, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until slightly tender, 3 to 4 minutes.


  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees F) and grease a 9 x 13 baking dish.


  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.


  • Stir in cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and milk. Mix until smooth.


  • Add 2 cups of shredded Cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir in the cheese until it’s melted and the mixture is mostly smooth.


  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, steamed broccoli, and cheese mixture. Stir until well combined.


  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.


  • Mix crushed garlic Parmesan pretzels, melted butter, and grated Parmesan cheese in a bowl until combined. Sprinkle topping evenly over the casserole.


  • Bake uncovered for 25 minutes until pretzel topping is golden brown. Add remaining cup of cheese and bake until cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes.


  • Allow casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving.
