Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter, plus extra for casserole dish
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 pound shiitake or baby bella mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 (10-ounce) box frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained
2 cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey blend
3 cups cooked rice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Special equipment: 1 1/8-quart oval casserole dish

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Butter casserole dish. In a large pot, melt 3 tablespoons butter and flour over medium heat until golden in color to make a quick roux. The roux should resemble the color of peanut butter. Add mushrooms, onion, garlic, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, heavy cream and chicken stock. Add broccoli, 1 cup of the cheese and rice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour into buttered dish and top with remaining shredded Cheddar. Bake until cheese is melted and golden, about 20 minutes.

Made it into a casserole...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I would imagine this would be phenomenal as is, but I was looking for a complete dinner, so I added a few things... I... added: 2 chicken breasts cubed (I browned the chicken, partially cooking it before adding it) 6 slices of bacon - chopped, fried and drained of fat 1/4 cup extra onions 1 head of fresh broccoli (stems & florets) I wanted to cut the fat a little, so I used 1/2 c 2% milk and 1/2 extra broth and cut the heavy cream to 1/2 cup. Turned out great both times I made it. The kids inhaled it and my husband said it blew my usual casserole(the friend/family favorite) out of the water. Read more

Kids loved it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made only small changes; I used canned mushrooms because that's what I had and I added chopped up cooked turkey breast. ... This made it a full meal. Served it with a loaf of Dutch Crunch bread. Only reason there were leftovers is because there are only 3 of us - leftovers for me!!Read more

Very good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe was VERY good, even my very picky husband had seconds!! The only things that I changed were that I added chicken... and used rotini noodles instead of rice. I also added a little more of the cream and the chicken stock just to add more liquid. Oh, and I also used more of the onion powder and added just a little season salt. Other than that, followed the reciped exactly. very delicious and will be keeping this recipe for sure!Read more

easy and excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe comes together easily on a weeknight and satisfies when it's cold outside. I used "instant" rice and prepared it... ahead so it was cold when added to the dish...don't know that "fresh" rice would have made any difference. Sick (with a cold) husband said it was great, he could taste it and asked for seconds. I think the hint of cayenne in the background makes all the difference. Fantastic job, Sunny... Read more
