This Cheesy Rice with Kielbasa and Broccoli will be one your entire family loves! My kids even asked for seconds! Plus, it’s perfect for an easy weeknight meal.
Cheesy Rice with Kielbasa and Broccoli
Hi there! It’s Jennie from The Diary of a Real Housewife bringing you another easy recipe. This Cheesy Rice with Kielbasa and Broccoli quickly became a family favorite. I used a little trick to get my kids to love it that works every time, a new name! While I call this meal Cheesy Rice with Kielbasa and Broccoli. When telling the kids what’s for dinner it’s cheesy rice and hot dogs. I use this trick often. When we go out for mexican a quesadilla becomes a Mexican grilled cheese. I would even call a fried egg an egg pancake, and my oldest who doesn’t like eggs would eat it up! A teaspoon of syrup may have helped also =)
No matter what you call it you are sure to love this Cheesy Rice with Kielbasa and Broccoli. To make it all simple I made everything in the same pot. I started with my broccoli and kielbasa in a large pot and boiled it until the broccoli was soft. You can use another pan to make your rice, but if you hate dishes as much as I do then just set aside the broccoli and kielbasa and use this pan to cook your rice.
Once your rice is cooked add your kielbasa and broccoli back into your pan. I seasoned it with garlic powered, salt, and pepper. Then add the shredded cheese.
Once everything melts together it’s ready to serve!
