What makes this quick-cooking side dish really tasty is coating the broccoli and rice in a creamy cheese sauce . . . yum!"

Ingredients

• Optional:
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli

• 1 1/2 cups cooked regular long-grain white rice
• 1/2 can of whole water chestnuts

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
