Updated at: Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:51:32 GMT

Step 1

Make your rice and set it aside, covered, to keep warm. (If you're using leftover rice, microwave it in a bowl, covered with plastic wrap, until warm, about 40 seconds on high.)

Step 2

Microwave the broccoli according to the package instructions, and then cook it about I minute longer so it's good and mushy, like my daddy liked his. You need it to fall apart in the casserole! Let cool about a minute before draining so you avoid a facial steam.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9 × 13-inch casserole dish or large cast-iron skillet with cooking spray.

Step 4

Combine the warm rice, broccoli, chicken soup, chicken broth, and 3 handfuls (about 3 cups) of the cheese in a large bowl and stir until nice and creamy. Add the seasoning and ¼ cup of the cold butter ('cuz that's gonna melt while this is cooking and make it all sopped up and good, hunny!). Stir well.

Step 5

Pour the mixture in the prepared pan and then top with the remaining 1 handful cheese.

Step 6

Bake until hot all the way through and the cheese is bubbly on top, 25 to 30 minutes.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 8

make the topping: melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the potato chip crumbs, parsley, and garlic and onion powders. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is lightly toasted and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle the potato chip mixture evenly over the hot casserole and dig in!
