2. Prepare Broccoli and Onion: In a saucepan, cook the chopped broccoli and onion in a small amount of water until they are just tender. Drain them well.

3. Cook Rice: While the broccoli and onion are cooking, prepare the Minute Rice according to the package directions.

5. Grease Casserole Dish: Prepare a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish by greasing it or spraying it with non-stick cooking spray (such as Pam).

6. Assemble Casserole: Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

7. Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is heated through.

8. Serve: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips:

• For added flavor, you can sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole before baking.
• Feel free to add cooked chicken or ham to make this dish more hearty and satisfying.
• This casserole can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until you’re ready to bake it. Simply cover it tightly with foil or plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
