For my offering I decided to make Broccoli and Cheddar Casserole with rice. Which is a Cracker Barrel Copycat recipe. It’s no small secret that I love eating this. But they don’t always have it on the menu. Since they often change it out seasonally. Usually about the time I want it they won’t have it. So then I have to make it for myself.

I also have the sister recipe to this one posted. Which is the Broccoli Cheddar Chicken Casserole. It is a lot like this casserole. Except it has chicken instead of the rice. I imagine you can hide some chicken in the casserole if you want both and want to do just one pan. At other times you might just want a side dish, such as sides for Thanksgiving when everyone will be eating turkey or some such.
