cheesy rice and broccoli

[Guest guest]

Hello list --

 

I've been snooping around here the past few weeks, ever since my boyfriend's mom

gave us her old Crock Pot (it's actually called a Crock Watcher). I just tried

my first recipe yesterday and it turned out great. My dad makes this all the

time (it might be the only thing he does make in his crock) and it's super

tasty:

 

Cheesy Rice and Broccoli (for lack of a better name)

 

1 stick butter or margarine, cut into pats

 

2 boil-in-bag bags of Success Rice (3.5 oz bags)

 

1 can mushroom soup (the normal size can -- 12 oz? 14 oz? I forget)

 

1 lb. chopped frozen broccoli

 

8 oz Velveeta, cubed

 

1 1/2 soup cans water

 

* Put everything in the Crock Pot and set it on low. You'll cook it on low for

five hours, but after about an hour and a half (once the cheese is melted), stir

it up. My dad says at this point you should see if it looks too dry, and if it

does, don't cook it the full five hours. I followed the instructions to the

letter, though, and it turned out wonderfully in exactly five hours. It starts

out kind of soupy, then cooks down to a nice thickness.

 

This rice is really yummy, but for my next Crock Pot feat, I'd like to try

something a little less cheesy/buttery/starchy. I'm off to troll the

vegcrockpots archives.

 

Thanks for a good list!

Sandi
