I have eaten this in restaurants many times, but never made it. Will it make a difference if I use fresh broccoli?
I prefer it with fresh broccoli, but listed the frozen because I know most people have that in their kitchen.
I steam the broccoli up separate from the rice then stir it in with the cheese sauce.
Mother-in-law uses cheez-whiz, sorry Mom if you stop by, but gag!
YUM!! I love broccoli and cheese. My kids love it when I steam broccoli in my Pampered Chef steamer. Actually, it's my youngest son's favorite food, next to hot dogs. :) Thanks for sharing!
It's my youngest son's favorite too...there are little trees to him. Not sure what that says about him that he likes eating trees, LOL
