Aunt Rhondas Casserole Recipes

I have seen several versions of this Casserole. I wanted to try and make it my own. This is a very versatile recipe. You can add more spice to add heat or cool it down to your liking. I made a topping of Guacamole and Sour Cream, Black Olives to top it off. Serve with a cool salad. I needed to add you can use more meat/ Protein...

This is everyone's favorite casserole, not least because on Thanksgiving Day it's the only rice dish on the table (and my Korean family loves rice). When my cousin Becky finally learned how to make broccoli-cheese rice casserole from her Aunt Anne, whose Southern food I always thought tasted so good, she usually made two vats of it because it's the one dish everyone wants leftovers of. (It also happens to reheat especially well-a key requirement for any Thanksgiving side dish, in my book.) What I love most is how much this recipe has changed over time. I call it Aunt Anne's Broccoli-Cheese Rice Casserole because she's the catalyst for the dish, but really it's "Eric's interpretation of Becky's Broccoli-Cheese Rice Casserole, which she maybe learned from her mother, Julia, who learned it from her sister Anne." Like a game of telephone, the recipe has been tweaked and misremembered, and now tastes like a mere version of that first casserole we had as kids, which is fine because we're not kids anymore. And I love that. This kind of culinary evolution is what defines Thanksgiving for me. As for the broccoli, sometimes I like to use only florets because that's my favorite part of the vegetable, but my mother likes it the way Aunt Anne makes it, which was often with frozen chopped broccoli (stems and everything). The original had Velveeta cheese, as well, but I enjoy the sharpness of cheddar and the ease of ready shredded cheese, which is what I call for here.

This is a great side for steak or anything from the grill. Don't skimp on the cooking time...it really alters the flavor.

This is a wonderfully pleasing, filling, pot luck that will have them raving for more! This recipe has a little spice too it, but there are loads of cheese, mushrooms, and black olives to make up for the slight heat in this dish. If you do not enjoy heat omit the Rotel and use regular diced tomatoes. It's worth it to put the Rotel in in my opinion it's not to hot. Overall this is a delicious dish that will have them debating every last ingredient and begging for the recipe. Enjoy!

This is the best Onion Casserole I've ever eaten! Don't even remember where it came from a long time ago.
