How to Make Broccoli Corn Casserole

As I said, this casserole is super simple to make with only a few simple ingredients. In a bowl, combine cooked rice, broccoli, cream-style corn, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Pour rice mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Toss Ritz cracker crumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle over broccoli mixture. Bake in a preheated oven until hot.

  1. This is such a delicious recipe!
    I don’t eat eggs, so I just replace the egg with a few tablespoons of flour to thicken it up.
    I’ve even had nice results adding zucchini into the mix!

  2. I loved this, and it is so simple. However, I added about 2/3 cup of plain Greek yogurt, about 3/4 cup of pepper Jack cheese, and I skipped on the butter.

  3. I love this recipe and Im actually happy to see it doesnt have cheese in it. I absolutely love cheese but Im trying to cut back on how much of it I eat. Ive made something similar to this recipe once before and it was delicious so I cant wait to try this. So easy too.

  4. Hi! This recipe just might get me to eat broccoli! But I have 1 question: is 1/4 tsp. butter correct? Just seems like too little to make a difference. Thanks, Cheryl
