Broccoli & Cheese Casserole

This casserole goes wonderfully with ham. . . or by itself if you're side dish oriented like me. :)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

3 pkgs. frozen broccoli (approx. 30 oz.) (chopped finely)
2 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup
1- 8 oz. block of Velveeta Cheese
1 medium onion (I use onion powder)
1 c. uncooked rice (2 c. water . . . cook separately)
1 tbsp. butter

Saute onion and butter until onion is clear. Add cheese and mushroom soup. Mix until cheese is melted and smooth. Keep mixing, add in rice and chopped broccoli. Pour into baking dish. Bake until brown, approximately 15-20 minutes.
