One of the best reasons to go home for the holidays is to eat - especially those dishes your mom is known for making. Mine makes the best broccoli rice casserole. Unfortunately, it's one dish I can't duplicate here in Europe as they don't sell Cheez Whiz in Germany. But just in case you want to make the casserole that ranks higher in my books than the green bean variety, check out Kraft's version below (at my house, we don't cook the onions, we skip the breadcrumbs and we top with melted butter). Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

BROCCOLI RICE CASSEROLE
INGREDIENTS

* 1/2 cup chopped onion
* 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided

* 1 cup CHEEZ WHIZ Cheese Dip
* 1/2 cup fresh bread cubes

DIRECTIONS

1. Cook and stir onion in 1 Tbsp. of the butter in large skillet on medium heat until tender.
2. Add rice, soup, broccoli and CHEEZ WHIZ; mix lightly. Spoon into 1-1/2-quart casserole. Toss together remaining 1 Tbsp. butter, melted, and bread cubes; sprinkle over casserole.
