Instructions
- Set your oven temperature to 350°F.
- In a large pot over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil. Add the diced onions and sauté for 5 minutes until they are soft.
- Incorporate the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, plain yogurt, and spices, stirring until everything is well blended.
- Mix in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, continuing to stir until it has melted.
- Add the frozen broccoli and mixed vegetables, letting them warm up. Remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool a bit.
- Gently fold in the whisked eggs and cooked rice. Pour the mixture into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Cover the dish and place it in the oven for 20 minutes. While it’s baking, mix together the breadcrumbs and vegetable oil.
- Take the casserole out of the oven and scatter the breadcrumbs over it. Return it to the oven, uncovered, for another 10 minutes. Take it out of the oven and serve!
Notes
- Use low-fat or Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt for a healthier option.
- Add bell peppers or mushrooms to increase the casserole’s nutritional value.
- Cook the rice following the package instructions for the best texture.
