How to Make Velveeta Broccoli Rice Casserole

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
Chop 1/2 medium onion and sauté in 1 tablespoon of butter until soft and translucent (about 5 minutes).
Cut 1 large head of broccoli into florets. Boil in salted water for 8-10 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Drain very well and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine cooked rice (2 cups cooked), 1 (16 ounce) package of Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes, the sautéed onion, cooked broccoli, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
