  • This dish is quick and easy to make, but you'll need the rice already cooked. It's perfect if you have some left over from breakfast or last night's dinner, chilled and ready to go. Start by prepping the ingredients that need it: peel the onion and dice it very finely; peel the garlic and mince it with a knife. Grate the two cheeses into separate bowls — the flavorful cheddar goes into the filling, while the hard cheese is for sprinkling on top. Now for the broccoli: if you're using frozen, there's nothing to do but thaw it at room temperature ahead of time. Fresh broccoli should first be boiled for 5 minutes in salted water or steamed. Once everything is ready, move on to the casserole itself. First, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a baking dish (about 1 to 1.5 quarts) with butter. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, add the onion, and sauté until translucent, stirring now and then. At the end, add the garlic and cook it with the onion for about 30 seconds. Stir in the sour cream and grated cheddar and bring almost to a boil. Next, in a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the cooked rice, broccoli, cheese sauce, and freshly ground black pepper, along with any other spices you like. Mix gently but thoroughly. Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish, smooth the top, and bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes. Then sprinkle the grated hard cheese over the top and return to the oven for another 2 minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven — everything's ready, and you can bring this fragrant dish to the table!
