This Slow Cooker Cheesy Rice and Broccoli is a favorite come Holiday time. Sometimes, we like to add sliced mushrooms as well. Hope you like this as much as we do!
- Lightly grease a 4-5 Quart slow cooker with butter.
- Melt 1 T. butter in skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, and sauté until translucent. Remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, mix together soup, milk and pepper.
- Add rice, cooked onion, then cheese whiz.
- Finally, stir in broccoli then transfer all to the prepared slow cooker.
- Cover and Cook on LOW 3-4 hours, or until rice is tender.
Optional: Adding diced chicken chunks can make this a full meal, although it would change it from a vegetarian recipe.
Happy Crocking!
XOXO,

Would adding Chicken cubes affect the overall cook time??
No Cheryl it should cook in the same amount of time! Enjoy!
I live in Australia and we dont have cheese wiz sauce. What could I substitute for it?
Here’s a recipe for homemade Cheez Whiz although I’m not sure if you’ll be able to find processed cheese (like Velveeta) in Australia. Combine the following and melt over low heat until blended to make “Cheez Whiz”.
1 lb processed cheese, cut in small pieces
13 oz. evaporated milk
4 tablespoons margarine
1 tsp salt
1 dash of hot sauce
1 tsp dry mustard
I am assuming that you would add cooked chicken? Thank you.
Yes Wanda, I add cooked chicken to this recipe from time to time! Enjoy and Happy Crocking!
Hi, the recipe calls for cheese wiz sauce, however in the steps, it says to add cheese cubes. Could the cheese wiz be substituted with just cheddar cheese and perhaps more milk?
Thanks Elizabeth, I have corrected the recipe, so sorry! Enjoy and Happy Crocking!
What size of crock pot did you use for this?
Beth I would use a 5 – 6 quart slow cooker for this recipe. Enjoy!
Can it be done with brown rice this way? Thanks
Yes Nance, make this recipe your own… Enjoy and Happy Crocking!
Another good sounding recipe to try! Pinning this one too!
Did I miss what kind ods soup up you use for this recipe?
Hi! It is listed under ingredients, as it is cream of mushroom, but I am sure any cream soup would work fine. Enjoy and Happy Crocking!
Did you precook the rice? Tried it tonight with chkcken and the rice didn’t cook.
I do not pre-cook the rice, but as you know all slow cooker cook differently, so you may want to partially cook your rice the next time to see if that helps with this recipe. Hope this helps! Happy Crocking!
I do a very similar one but instead of Cheez Whiz I do 1Cup of water and add a full can of milk instead of the 2/3C…not sure if that is the same measure or not? I melt cheese on the top near the end or just on each person’s serving. Oh..and I use brown or wild rice 🙂
As a diabetic I would like to request your serving sizes would also be in cups, tablespoons, etc, in place of /or with the grams. I would like to be exact in my serving sizes. Thank you in advance.
Can you use frozen broccoli?
Hi Jen, Yes, you can use frozen broccoli. Thanks for your question & Happy Crocking!
If I double this recipe, how much longer do you think it will need to cook? Thank you!
Hi Lisa, The key is that your slow cooker needs to be 1/2 to 2/3 full to crock properly. So with that said if you slow cooker follows this rule then you would crock it for the same length of time. Enjoy and Happy Crocking!
Okay, awesome! Thanks for the tip.
Hi can you use any other cheese, like cheddar finely grated?
Autumn make this recipe your own, grate the bar of cheese and to your liking, and use the cheese of your choice. Happy Crocking!
Can this be done in the newer “Casserole” style crock pot?
Absolutely Kim! I Love my Casserole Crock-Pot! Enjoy!
