Additions/Substitutions

This recipe is one of my favorites, as it can be changed up many ways to work for you. When I started making this, I made it as a normal side dish, then transformed it into a meal by adding cooked shredded chicken, as I had lots of farm raised chicken in the freezer. Over time as my chicken supply dwindled, I tried our farm raised pork sausage that I had plenty to use, and it was a hit. I have never gone back to doing anything different, but here’s some ways you can change it up. This recipe calls for cream of mushroom soup, I like to make my own from scratch when able, Cream of soup base you can also do cream of chicken or celery if that’s what you have. The cheese part of this calls for a jar of cheese wiz, you can also make your own cheese sauce, I like to do or add some shredded cheese to add some extra cheesy favor. The broccoli used is usually frozen broccoli, if all you have is fresh then you can boil some and chop it. My crew are not huge broccoli fans so I chop it into fine pieces to hide it more and they like it, if you like bigger chunks in there you can just throw the bag of broccoli in as is. The rice for this recipe is plain white rice, but you can use whenever kind you like or have on hand. I usually do white minute rice is quick and easy, and sometimes we do whole grain rice is a little healthier. If you have some leftover rice in the fridge that works good too!
