Broccoli Cheese Casserole

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook rice as directed by the package. If using a package of frozen broccoli, thaw the broccoli.

In a separate pan, melt butter and cook onion in it until tender. Add thawed broccoli, cook until very warm. In a large pot, combine cooked broccoli, cooked rice, Cheez Whiz, cooking liquid, and cream of mushroom soup. Mix together until simmering.

Pour into a casserole dish and bake for 25 minutes. (If using Wheat Thins to top casserole, blend 2 handfuls in a food processor or pound until crushed in a Ziploc bag.) Remove casserole after 25 minutes and top with your choice of French fried onions or crushed Wheat Thins (chopped nuts, crushed Triscuits, etc. also work). Bake for another 5 minutes.
