Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ onion, chopped
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 5 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 3 cups chopped, cooked broccoli
- 2 cups chopped, cooked ham
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 cup crushed buttery round crackers
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
Directions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- 2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook until fragrant and almost translucent, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle flour over onion, then cook and stir for 3 minutes. Add milk gradually, whisking constantly to keep mixture from becoming lumpy. Cook and stir until the mixture is thick and smooth, about 15 minutes.
- 3. Add Colby-Jack cheese and cook and stir until cheese is melted and sauce begins to bubble, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- 4. Combine broccoli, ham, and rice in a large bowl. Add cheese mixture and stir to combine. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Top with crushed crackers, sliced almonds, and crumbled bacon.
- 5. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.
