32ouncesfrozen broccoli
1poundAmerican cheesecut into chunks
2cupsminute rice
1cupmilk
2, 10.5-ouncecans cream of mushroom soup

Instructions
In a large pot, add the frozen broccoli along with three cups of water. Put it over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is cooked through.
While the broccoli is cooking, add the cheese (Grandma used to either get the loaves of sliced American cheese to use or would request it from the deli counter), rice, milk and soup to a large, microwave-safe casserole dish with a lid.
Drain the broccoli and stir it into the other ingredients.
Microwave on high, with the lid on, until the cheese is melted and the rice is cooked through (somewhere between five and 10 minutes, depending on the strength of your microwave).
