Shoney's Broccoli Casserole

I also made this for Christmas this year. It was pretty good too considering I don't eat vegetables. Add cheese to anything for me and I will eat it! haha


6 Cups broccoli florets, chopped
1-1/4 lbs Velveeta cheese
2 eggs
3 cups cooked rice
3 cups half-and-half (in the section with the milk)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Cooking spray
1 cup Ritz crackers, crushed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Place eggs in mixing bowl and lightly whip for approx. 20 seconds. Add broccoli florets, cooked rice, salt and pepper. Mix well. Dice Velveeta into 1/4" pieces. Place diced cheese and half-and-half in microwave safe container. Cover and microwave for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Add to ingredients in bowl. Blend well. Spray 9" pan with cooking spray. Pour casserole mixture into pan. Bake in a 350 degree over for 30 minutes. Top casserole with Ritz crackers and cheddar cheese and cook for 5 more minutes, or until cheese melts and crackers brown.
