Cheesy Mushroom and Broccoli Casserole
Broccoli is one of the most versatile veggies on the market. You can turn it into soups, frittatas, stir-fries and more — even the stalks can be put to delicious use! Wrapped and stored properly (in the fridge!), broccoli can last up to a week. While there’s no denying broccoli is a great complementary side dish for many mains, a hearty casserole never disappoints. Sunny’s 5-star dish is filled with rice, mushrooms, frozen broccoli and Cheddar. Serve it as a company-worthy side or a comforting main.
