Instructions
- Preheat your oven to exactly 350°F and grab a 9×13 inch baking dish to prepare for the casserole.
- Toss your halved Brussels sprouts with cooked rice, ensuring each sprout gets coated with the creamy mixture.
- Whisk together 1 cup cream of mushroom soup, ½ cup milk, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon onion powder in a separate bowl.
- Pour the liquid mixture over your Brussels sprouts and rice, stirring to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Fold in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, distributing it evenly throughout the casserole base.
- Season the entire mixture with salt and pepper, tasting to ensure balanced flavor.
- Transfer the entire casserole mixture into your greased baking dish, spreading it out smoothly.

- Slide the casserole into the preheated 350°F oven and bake for exactly 35 minutes.
- Remove when the top turns golden brown and the edges become deliciously bubbly.
Notes
- Rinse Brussels sprouts thoroughly and trim the ends for the freshest flavor and best texture in the casserole.
- Swap regular rice for cauliflower rice to create a lower-carb version that’s equally delicious and satisfying.
- For extra crunch, toast the breadcrumbs in a skillet with a bit of butter before sprinkling them on top of the casserole.
- Make this dish vegetarian by using cream of mushroom soup without meat and selecting a vegetable broth instead of milk.
