Preparation

1. Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Cook the brown rice

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Vegetable mixture

3. Sauté the vegetables

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.

4. Add broccoli

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender.

Combine ingredients

5. Mix the casserole ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, sautéed vegetables, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, cream of mushroom soup, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir until well combined.

Bake

6. Transfer to a baking dish

Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and pour the broccoli rice mixture into it, spreading it evenly.

7. Prepare topping

In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs with melted butter until combined. Spread the mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

8. Bake the casserole

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.

9. Cool and serve

Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
