The inspiration for this dish came in desperation. We just came back from Community Clean-up and I was really very tired after spending all day out in the sun. We all have those occasions, when even an energizer bunny type girl like me wears out. It was 4:30, I still had not started dinner and family was starting to complain that they were "starved".
Casseroles are not a favorite of ours and I very rarely make them. We liked this one because its cheesy. What is not to love about Broccoli with Cheese? I am betting that leaving out the cheese and using a chicken bouillon or two would be equally as good. Mixing in some philly cooking creme would not be a bad idea either. The point is that its quick and easy and done in under 30 minutes. I am even layering in the frozen components in there still frozen.
Ok, are you ready? Lets get started.

2 Tablespoons Brown Rice Flour
