Ingredients
-
1 cup dry brown rice (long grain)
2.5 cups chicken broth, 99% fat free, 50% less sodium (Substitute low sodium vegetable broth to make this vegetarian)
3 cloves garlic
1 lb frozen broccoli
8 oz Velveeta, cut into small cubes
Directions
Bring broth to boil. Mince garlic cloves and add to broth. Add brown rice and stir once. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes until tender.
(Don't peek at rice while it simmers!)
While rice is cooking, thaw broccoli. Chop broccoli finely and set aside.
Add cubed Velveeta and chopped broccoli to hot, cooked rice. Stir to completely combine. (Most of the cheese should melt.)
Scoop rice mixture into a small, ungreased casserole dish and spread evenly.
Bake uncovered in 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.
Makes 10 half-cup servings.
