Name: Easy Broccoli Rice & Cheese Casserole
Ingredients: 2 cups cooked white rice; 3 cups broccoli florets (steamed or blanched); 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese; 1 cup sour cream; 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken soup); ½ cup milk; 1 small onion, finely chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; ½ teaspoon salt; ¼ teaspoon black pepper; 1 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping); 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for greasing the dish)

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, steamed broccoli florets, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
If you like a crispy topping, sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole. For extra crunch, you can drizzle a little melted butter over the breadcrumbs.
Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy
