2 boxes Frozen chopped broccoli, thawed 10 oz each
2 cups Cooked rice
8 oz Shredded cheddar cheese
2 cans Cream of chicken soup 10.75 oz each (or one can each of cream of chicken and cream of mushroom)
1 small Onion, chopped
2 tablespoons Butter

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add broccoli, cooked rice, cream soups, and shredded cheese. Stir over medium heat until cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
Spoon mixture into prepared casserole dish and spread evenly.
Bake uncovered for 1 hour, or until bubbly and golden on top.
To freeze: prepare the mixture, divide into containers, and freeze. Thaw overnight and bake for 1 hour, or bake from frozen for 1 hour 10 minutes.

Use fresh, lightly steamed broccoli instead of frozen if preferred. To turn this into a main dish, add 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken or turkey.
