Pesto & Potatoes

This time of year really starts to bring out my nostalgia for what I like to call church basement classics. This Cheesy Broccoli Rice Casserole always makes the list. It’s one of the cozy, Midwest casseroles that church ladies would bake in disposable aluminum pans and serve from card tables. Guests load up a paper plate and get comfortable (as much as possible) in folding chairs tucked around paneling-lined walls. If I close my eyes, I am taken right back there with a scoop of some version of this Cheesy Broccoli Rice Casserole on my plate. It’s a hefty recipe, one that barely can be held up by the flimsy paper plates I remember from my childhood.
