Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
  3. Stir in cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, garlic salt, salt, mustard powder, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Sprinkle in shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until it melts fully into the mixture, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add frozen broccoli and mixed vegetables, stirring gently to combine and heat for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl. Pour the beaten eggs and cooked rice into the vegetable mixture, stirring well.
  7. Transfer the mixture into a greased casserole dish, spreading evenly. Top with remaining cheddar cheese.
  8. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven.
  9. Melt another tablespoon of butter in a small bowl and combine with crushed Ritz crackers for topping.
  10. After 20 minutes, remove foil and sprinkle the cracker topping over the casserole. Bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes until the top is golden.
