Instructions

Step 1

Enjoy!

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Step 3

Grease (I used Pam) a 9×12 baking dish. Set aside.

Step 4

Make sure your rice is cooked and ready to go.

Step 5

Meanwhile, over medium-high heat, crisp up your bacon pieces. Once crispy, remove to a paper towel lined plate. Next, add your olive oil and chopped onion to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Saute your onion until tender (about 6 to 7 minutes) then stir in your chopped garlic to saute a minute. Next, sprinkle your flour down over the mixture and then whisk in your buttermilk for about a minute. Next, whisk in your stock and allow everything to come to a bubble. At this point, stir in half of each of your cheeses followed by your broccoli, reserved bacon and rice. Add in a big pinch of both salt and pepper Pour this mixture down into your prepared baking dish. I like to sprinkle a little more pepper down over the top followed by the remaining cheese. Pop your casserole in the oven and bake 30 minutes or until bubbly and browned on the edges.

Step 6

Remove and serve immediately.

Step 7

That’s it!
