Oven-Baked Cheesy Broccoli and Rice Casserole Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the onion and carrots for 4 minutes.
Add the mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes, until lightly browned and most of their moisture has evaporated.
Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the broccoli and cook for 3 minutes, until bright green and slightly tender.
Whisk the milk, sour cream, paprika, ¼ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon McCormick ground black pepper until smooth.
Combine the cooked brown rice, vegetable mixture, milk mixture, and ¾ cup cheddar.
Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup cheddar and Parmesan evenly over the top.
Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, until the center is hot and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with thinly sliced fresh chives if desired.
