Author: I am really liking this meal planning on a monthly basis. I have already discovered a tweak for next month though; I need to add a designation to my calendar as to whether the recipe is a slow cooker recipe or not. I had to shift a few things around late last week when I failed to notice that this recipe is a slow cooker recipe, not an oven baked recipe. It was well worth the wait of an extra day though. The other tidbit of information to share is that I failed to check my freezer while making the grocery list so I didn’t have frozen broccoli. I did have frozen peas and carrots and they went really well with this recipe. Next time I’ll try to use broccoli but if I forget it again I know I can still make a yummy meal with another veggie.
Rice, Ham and Broccoli Casserole
1 pkg (16 oz) frozen broccoli cuts, thawed and drained
3 cups cubed cooked ham
1 can (10 and 3/4 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
1 jar (8 oz) reduced fat cheez whiz
1 cup milk
1 cup uncooked instant brown rice
1 celery rib, chopped
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
In slow cooker, combine the ham and broccoli. In a mixing bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients; stir. Pour the mixture over the ham and broccoli and stir it all together.
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until rice is tender.
About 4-5 servings.
