Ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 3 cups cooked white rice
• 2 cups ham, diced
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup milk

• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.75 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a thin layer of olive oil.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, diced ham, blanched broccoli, sautéed onion, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well blended.

Step 6

Pour the creamy mixture over the rice mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
