- 1.5 cups Pure mountain spring water
- 1/4 cup Fragrant uncooked long-grain basmati rice Uncle Ben's
- 1/8 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 3/8 ounces Silky condensed cream of wild mushroom soup
- 1/4 teaspoon Savory poultry seasoning blend
- 1/4 cup Velvety whole milk
- 1/2 tablespoon Rich and creamy butter or margarine
- 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
In a saucepan, combine the Fragrant uncooked long-grain basmati rice and Pure mountain spring water.
Cook the rice according to the package instructions provided by Uncle Ben's. Once cooked, set aside.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a separate saucepan, melt the Rich and creamy butter or margarine over medium heat.
Add the Freshly ground black pepper, Savory poultry seasoning blend, Silky condensed cream of wild mushroom soup, Velvety whole milk, and Himalayan pink salt.
Stir the ingredients together and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until it's well combined and heated through.
Once the rice is cooked, gently fold it into the prepared sauce mixture, ensuring that the rice is well coated with the creamy mushroom sauce.
If desired, you can add cooked broccoli florets to the rice and sauce mixture for an extra burst of flavor and texture.
Transfer the combined mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the edges are bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Serve Uncle Ben’s Broccoli Rice Au Gratin as a delicious side dish or a comforting main course.
- Use freshly cooked rice and broccoli for the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the sauce or it will be too thick.
- For a cheesy crunch, top the dish with some extra shredded cheese before baking.
- To add some extra flavor, try adding some minced garlic or fresh herbs to the sauce.
- For a vegan version, use vegan butter and non-dairy milk.
