This hearty holiday casserole features mushrooms, broccoli, and cooked rice. All ingredients are tossed in a pan in a creamy sauce with spices, then placed in a baking dish, sprinkled with grated cheese, and baked in the oven until the sauce sets and the cheese is golden brown. For a richer flavor, use a mix of mushrooms, such as shiitake and button mushrooms, and a mix of grated cheeses, such as cheddar and Monterey Jack. Serve as a side dish with holiday meats or as a filling meal on its own.

Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat oven to 220°C.
Step 2
• Grease a baking dish with butter. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter, add the flour, and cook until golden brown (this will make a roux). The roux should resemble peanut butter in color.
Step 3
• Add the mushrooms, onion, garlic, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, cream, and chicken broth. Add the broccoli, 1 cup of cheese, and rice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place in a greased baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and golden, about 20 minutes.
