I am not a big fan of canned soups so I decided to see if I could come up with a recipe for a broccoli casserole without using cream of mushroom soup. I came up with a really simple recipe. You will need the following ingredients:
Recipe:
1 cup of cooked white rice
3 cups of broccoli florets
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/2 of an onion, diced finely
1 1/2 tablespoons of flour
1 1/2 tablespoons of butter
1 cup of milk
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons of cream cheese
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup of parmesan cheese
1/2 cup of buttered crackers, crumbled
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 baking dish.

Place the broccoli into a medium skillet with 1/2 cup of water and add a lid and cook on medium heat until it reaches the doneness you prefer.

In a medium sauce pan add the butter, garlic and the onion and cook on medium heat for about 3 minutes or until the onion becomes see through. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
