This recipe is from the 70's.
Groovy, man. When IT Guy and I got engaged many moons ago, I went
through my mom's recipes and copied down all the ones I liked. I
remember her serving this from time to time and I loved it. I haven't
made it in ages but as I was thumbing through my recipe collection, I
came across this little gem. I know Cheese Whiz is not really a
food....and I don't want to know exactly WHAT it is...I just know it
makes this dish taste SO good. I can't even remember the last time I
bought a jar of that strange orange goo...but I bought one for this
recipe and felt no shame!!
1 ½ cups cooked rice
2 tablespoons diced onion
2 tablespoons diced celery
1 1-pound package frozen broccoli florettes – cooked according to package directions
8 ounces (1 cup) Cheeze Whiz
1 8-ounce can sliced water chestnuts - drained
1 10-ounce can cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small skillet, sauté onion and celery in a little olive oil for a few minutes.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir well. Transfer to a greased baking dish.
Bake for 30 minutes or until hot throughout.
The goods.
Saute the onions and celery a bit.
You don't HAVE to do this step if you
don't want to, but I prefer the veggies a little tender.
Dump all the ingredients together.
I just used the pot I cooked the broccoli in. Mix it up!!
Spread the mixture in a greased casserole dish.
Bake it up and serve. My #1
son ate three helpings and then
made me hide the rest so no one
would eat it and he could have it later.
