Nana Piepmeier’s Vegetable Casserole From the kitchen of kelpiep

  • 1 c brown rice
  • 3 c water
  • 1 T butter
  • 1 t salt
  • garlic powder to taste
  • 1 T dried minced onion
  • 1/4 t celery seed

Cook the rice until done or almost done. Place in greased 9” x 13” Pyrex casserole.

Steam:

  • 1 bunch of broccoli
  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • 2 c of sliced zucchini (optional)

Season vegetables with a little onion salt or seasoning salt.

Layer vegetables on top of rice, then add:

  • 8 oz grated mozzarella
  • 2 oz grated Swiss cheese
  • 2 oz grated Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 oz grated Cheddar

Bake at 350º for 20 - 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and dish is completely hot and cheese is lightly browned.

If prepared ahead and refrigerated, cover with aluminum foil and bake at 400º for 40 - 45 minutes.

We usually have this for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas dinner.
