Simple.  For this recipe, I am skipping the 9×13 casserole dish and using a traditional Crock Pot instead.  The Crock Pot does the same job as a traditional casserole dish would, when preparing this Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole.

You can use a Crock Pot shaped like a traditional 9×13 casserole dish, but it really isn’t necessary for this recipe.

    A perfect dinner casserole. I loved how you have added broccoli in this recipe along with rice and terderloins. A wholesome, delicious for a cosy and relaxed night dinner after a long day. I will turn the slow cooker before i head out to fetch my girls back from school. Thank you!
