Easy Broccoli Rice

Our family loves broccoli, so this easy recipe is a no brainer, side dish at our house.  Super fast to make and tastes very good too! You can make it with low fat cheese and save some of the calories too.  Thanks Better Homes & Gardens!
Easy Cheesy Broccoli Rice
1 10 oz. bag frozen broccoli (may also use fresh)
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. quick cooking rice
1 c. shredded cheddar or swiss cheese
1 c. water



Directions:

  1. In a medium saucepan combine frozen broccoli, uncooked rice, water, and salt. Bring to boiling, stirring frequently to break up frozen broccoli.
  2. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Return saucepan to burner. Over low heat, add cheese, stirring just until cheese is melted. If desired, serve in bowls and sprinkle with additional shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese.
  3. Makes 6 servings.
