How to Make Ultimate One Pan Wild Rice and Cheesy Broccoli Casserole

  • Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a large oven-safe skillet with nonstick spray.
  • Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil and sauté diced onions and minced garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add Rice: Stir in the wild rice and toast for about 2 minutes to enhance its flavor.
  • Pour Broth: Add vegetable broth to the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer, covering it to absorb flavors.
  • Incorporate Broccoli & Cheese: After 25 minutes, fold in broccoli florets and half of the cheese.
  • Bake: Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
  • Cool: Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Optional: Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top for color.
