The Original Recipe:

If you are looking for an easy-to-put-together great-tasting rice dish...well, here's one, and boy is it good!...When you try this one, it will become a favorite I am sure. (Note: Fresh broccoli is recommended in this recipe, as the frozen tends to become very mushy after baking with the rice)
