Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°.
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
Add the cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, and seasonings and stir to combine.
Add 1 cup of the cheese and stir until melted.
Add the frozen broccoli and mixed vegetables and allow them to heat through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Stir in the whisked eggs and cooked rice. Transfer to a lightly greased 9 x 13 inch casserole dish and top with remaining cheese.

Notes

Pro Tips

Rice: I highly recommend cooking your rice in chicken broth for a lot of added flavor. You can also add 1 chicken bouillon cube to the water.
Cream of Mushroom Soup: Feel free to make this with my homemade cream of mushroom soup recipe or my cream of chicken soup recipe. (Both are great in this.)
Cheese: I use Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp Yellow cheese for this casserole. A combination of white cheddar and yellow is great too.
Veggie Options: Great options for this casserole include carrots, peas, green beans, corn, cauliflower, mushrooms, spinach, kale, and more.
Using Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables should be steamed or cooked until softened before adding them in. (Not too cooked through, but about 90% of the way.)
Crispy Fried Onions make a great alternative topping option as well!

Make Ahead Method

Assemble the casserole as outlined and top with cheese. Refrigerate for up to 2 days. Let it sit out for 30 minutes prior to baking, or add about 10-15 minutes to the covered baking time.
