This easy to make slow cooker recipe combines a vegetable and rice together. Frozen chopped broccoli is mixed with onion flakes, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, milk, minute rice, Velveeta cheese and spices. Everything is poured into a slow cooker and cooks for several hours. After cooking the rice is fluffy, the broccoli is tender and everything is in a cheesy sauce.
I omit the water chestnuts. Mix the ingredients in a bowl first; it will be less messy than mixing inside the slow cooker.
An alternative topping: sprinkle 1 cup French’s Crispy Fried Onions on top and cook with the lid off for 10 minutes.
