This casserole is a nice way to add more fresh vegetables, and some whole grain rice, to the dinner menu. 

I used celery and broccoli since this was what we had available. You can substitute this for your favorite fresh vegetables, or whatever you have on hand.

I also used a can of cream corn, to bring an added fun flavor, and a little creaminess.  My teenage sons loved this!

      Hey Phyllis,

      There is a little printer icon at the top of the recipe, above the title in the green box.
