--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2  pound         Ground Beef
   1      cup           Chopped onion
   1      package       Chopped Broccoli 10 oz.
   1      can           Broc/Cheese Soup
     1/2  cup           Milk
   1      teaspoon      Garlic fresh
     3/4  teaspoon      Rice
   1 1/2  cups          Water

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the rice with the water in standard
manner. (I do not use salt or margarine in the preparation of the rice.)
While the rice is cooking chop the onions and garlic. Saute slowly until
onions are just tender.  Add the ground beef and brown. Cook onions and
ground beef about 7 minutes.  Drain off the fat. Return to medium heat.
Separately mix the broccoli cheese soup and milk. Stir until creamy in
texture. At this point test for taste.  I usually add table grind black
pepper and salt (less that 1/2 teaspoon). When the ground beef is ready, add
the rice and broccoli, and soup mixture, tossing carefully.  Put the mixture
in to a 9 x 9, or 9 x 13 casserole dish.  Sometimes I top this with seasoned
bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Bake about 35 minutes.
