By adding Zatarain’s Yellow Rice to this easy-to-make, one pot meal, even the most hesitant of broccoli eaters will be a fan! This creamy casserole is loaded with broccoli and cheddar cheese for the ultimate flavor combination. To add a touch of crunch, add some cracker crumbs on top before baking. Perfect for feeding large parties or for making ahead, you can assemble this casserole in advance and get it ready to pop in the oven an hour before you’re ready to eat. Pro tip: If you plan to assemble ahead of time, make sure to leave the crumbs off until baking time. This casserole is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Pair it with fresh greens like a Garlic Caesar Salad, or if you plan on serving this casserole as a side dish, it would go well alongside Rosemary Roasted Chicken or Savory Slow Cooked Pot Roast.
