Equipment
- Pan: 1 medium saucepan
- Spatula: 1 wooden spoon for stirring
- Measuring cups: To measure water or broth
Ingredients
- 1 box of Knorr Cheddar Broccoli Rice Mix the golden key to flavor!
- 2 cups of water or chicken broth broth makes it extra rich!
- 1 tablespoon of butter for that creamy, dreamy texture
- 1 cup of fresh broccoli florets your tiny green trees!
- ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese because more cheese = more happiness
- Optional treasures to make it YOURS:
- Cooked chicken shrimp, or sausage (for protein power!)
- Red pepper flakes or jalapeños for a spicy kick!
- Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for a fancy touch!
Instructions
- Step 1: The Pot of Beginnings: Grab a medium-sized pot—your trusty cauldron. Pour in the Knorr Cheddar Broccoli Rice Mix and add 2 cups of water or chicken broth. Stir it like you’re casting a spell.
- Step 2: The Boiling Battle: Turn the heat to high and let the mixture come to a boil. Watch as the bubbles rise like tiny dragons breathing steam. Once it’s bubbling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 7-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep the rice from sticking.
- Step 3: The Butter Volcano: Once the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, it’s time for the butter volcano! Drop in a tablespoon of butter and watch it melt into a golden pool of deliciousness.
- Step 4: The Broccoli Forest: Add your broccoli florets to the pot. Stir them in gently, imagining they’re tiny trees growing in a cheesy meadow. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes until they’re tender but still slightly crunchy.
- Step 5: The Cheese Tornado: Now for the grand finale—sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir it slowly, watching as the cheese melts into a gooey, stretchy tornado of flavor.
Notes
Use chicken broth instead of water for more flavor.
Don’t let the broccoli get too mushy!
Store leftovers in the fridge for 3 days.
