Notes
- Make a freezer meal. Assemble the broccoli & rice casserole, wrap it tightly with plastic wrap, and again with foil. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and bake as directed.
- Note that when glass or Pyrex goes from one extreme temperature (freezer) to another extreme temperature (hot oven) it can crack. Thaw the casserole before placing it in the oven.
- Make ahead of time. Assemble the casserole and store it covered in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Let it sit on the counter for 20 minutes before baking. Add the breadcrumb topping right before baking.
- STORE. Store in one airtight container or divide into convenient individual containers in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 4-6 weeks. Reheat in the microwave.
