Broccoli and Rice Casserole

This easy casserole is also known as green rice. Every holiday, my brother-in-law Mike's mother Betty brings this dish to Momma's. It's always so good it makes me wonder why we feel like it has to be a  holiday before someone fixes it. I like to add a small can of mushroom stems and pieces when I'm not making this for "picky" eaters.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 c. Minute rice
• 3/4 c. chopped celery
• 3/4 c. chopped onion
• 1 box chopped broccoli, thawed
• 1 small jar Cheese Whiz
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 stick butter, melted
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup

DIRECTIONS

Mix all ingredients, except cheese. Place in greased baking dish. Top with Cheese Whiz. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees.
