Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 375°F. Cook the rice with 2 cups water, covered on low, for 18 minutes.

  2. 2

    Thaw the broccoli and chop any large pieces. Dice the onion and cook it in the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Whisk in the flour for 1 minute, then gradually add the milk, whisking, and simmer until thickened, about 4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Off the heat, stir in 1 1/2 cups of cheddar and the garlic powder until melted. Season with salt and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Fold together the rice, broccoli, and cheese sauce in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with the remaining cheddar and the breadcrumbs.

  6. 6

    Bake until browned and bubbling at the edges, about 20 minutes, and rest 5 minutes before scooping.
