For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cheese sauce.
Feel free to substitute other cheeses like cheddar, Gruyere, or Monterey Jack for the Muenster.
If you don't have instant rice on hand, cook regular rice according to package directions and use 3 cups in the recipe.
To prevent the panko topping from burning, tent the casserole with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

    Can I use fresh broccoli instead of frozen?

  • Jeremy Heathcote

    I used cheddar cheese instead of Muenster, and it was still fantastic!

  • Jacky Borer

    I tried it with fresh broccoli and it turned out great. I steamed it until it was tender-crisp before adding it to the casserole.

  • Isabella Quitzon

    Easy to follow and the casserole turned out perfectly. Will definitely make again!
