Cheesy Broccoli & Brown Rice Casserole

This is the kind of dish that turns a half-empty vegetable drawer into dinner: broccoli and brown rice folded into a cheesy, oven-baked casserole that bakes up golden on top.

Built entirely from vegetables, whole grains, and dairy, it fits well within a vegetarian diet and works as a main course or a hearty side. Greek yogurt stands in for some of the heavier cream typically used in casseroles, keeping the sauce rich without going overboard, while the broccoli adds a dose of fiber to balance the cheese.

Let it rest for a few minutes after baking so it sets up before serving — leftovers reheat well for lunch the next day.
