Broccoli Rice Casserole

Stir-fry the broccoli with a little bit of oil or cooking spray,(add some salt & pepper if you like) until it is tender, add olives set aside.
Grease the bottom of a glass casserole dish (ok.. it doesn't have to be glass)
Cover the bottom of the pan with 1/2 of the White Rice
Spread Broccoli and olive mixture evenly across pan
Sprinkle Cheddar Cheese over Broccoli Mixture
Cover with the rest of the Rice
Spread Crumbled Crackers evenly over top and put five pats of margarine (or butter) on top of that
Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes -
or if you are really hungry bake at 400 for 25 minutes...
My dad... The whole family - plus leftovers60This dish has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid, and my kids love it now. If you have a child that doesn't like olives or broccoli just make a special corner without any for him/her. That is the beauty of casseroles!
