Chicken Casserole-30 Minute Meal




Easy-Peasy Casserole

Seriously.


It's so good and takes so little time! I made this for a savory thing at a cold time. You can, of course, substitute frozen broccoli for fresh (just kissed with steam) if you still have it available to you. And chicken/mushroom soup could be replaced with any thick broth. If you can't get wild rice-don't worry about it, it just adds to the texture and appearance. Should take about 30 minutes, unless you're not used to the kitchen so much, then, about 45.




Ingredients:



Water

2 Cups wild rice with 4 cups quick rice

1 Stick of butter-or a bit less...

1 clove of garlic

1 Can cream of chicken soup


1 Can cream of mushroom soup

2 10oz packages of frozen broccoli, warmed with 1 cup water in a small pot and drained


1 Small can of mushrooms

1 Small can of water chestnuts

3 Cups of shredded mixed cheese



Directions:





1)Cook rice with butter and chopped garlic clove and a cup, then add in 5-5.5 cups water in a a medium pot on medium-high heat


2)After cooked add slowly soups, turn down heat a bit to medium


3)In separate bowl mix broccoli, mushrooms, chestnuts and 1/2 of the cheese


4)Mix it all together and get it in a dish-then top it with cheese


5)Bake at 350 deg F for about 20 minutes


6)Let cool and chop ya some chives on that baby (or, those who like those onion crisp things

can add that)!


Serves 12 (maybe...)



Done!

Simple joys.
