Broccoli-Cheese Casserole

Serves 8 to 10

1 c. celery, chopped

1 onion, chopped

1/4 c. butter

1-1/2 c. cooked rice

10-oz. pkg. frozen chopped broccoli, thawed

8-oz. can sliced water chestnuts, drained

10-3/4 oz. can cream of mushroom soup

8-oz. jar pasteurized process cheese sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, sauté celery and onion in butter. Stir in remaining ingredients; spread in a greased 13"x9" baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

To cover or not to cover? A casserole that’s baked uncovered will have a crisper, more golden topping than one that’s covered during baking...it’s your choice.
