Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
- 2 cups (8 oz.) shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
- 3 cups reduced-sodium, fat-free chicken broth
- 2 cups milk
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 fresh thyme sprig
- 2 cups chopped onion
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1 (8-oz.) package sliced cremini mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch of ground red pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked long-grain rice
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets (about 2 heads)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °. Melt 2 Tbsp. butter. Combine melted butter with panko and 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese; toss to coat.
- Bring broth and next 3 ingredients to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and keep mixture warm until ready to use.
- Melt remaining 4 Tbsp. butter in a large shallow Dutch oven or ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery to Dutch oven, and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes or until onion is lightly browned. Add mushrooms to Dutch oven, and stir in 1/2 tsp. kosher salt and a pinch each of black pepper and ground red pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Add garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, 45 seconds. Stir in flour until combined. (Mixture will be dry.)
- Remove and discard bay leaf and thyme from broth mixture. Gradually stir warm broth mixture into mushroom mixture. Add remaining 1 cup cheese, and stir until well blended and smooth. Stir in rice and next 3 ingredients. Cover Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid.
- Bake at 350 ° for 25 to 30 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove Dutch oven from oven; increase oven temperature to broil.
- Microwave broccoli, 1/4 cup water, and remaining 1/2 tsp. kosher salt in a covered microwave-safe bowl at HIGH about 2 minutes or just until broccoli is tender and bright green. Drain and pat broccoli dry. Stir broccoli into rice mixture in Dutch oven. If desired, transfer mixture to a broiler-safe serving dish coated lightly with cooking spray.
- Sprinkle breadcrumb mixture over broccoli mixture. Place on middle oven rack, and broil 2 to 3 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Let casserole stand 5 minutes before serving.
