Add rice and water to a saucepan and cook for 20 minutes; covered. If using salted broth no need to add salt but if using water add salt to rice..
In a skillet or large baking dish saute the onions in the butter until tender. Add cooked rice, soups, cooked broccoli, seasonings, cheese whiz and 4 oz of cheddar cheese. Stir well to combine. If the florets are big, cut them into smaller pieces.
Bake for 30 minutes, remove from the oven and top with the other 4 ozs of cheddar cheese. Return to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until bubbly and light brown.
TIP
If you prefer to only use cheddar cheese and not cheese whiz just use more cheddar cheese.
