["Cook rice according to package directions.", "Preheat oven to 350.", "Pull or dice ham into small pieces.", "Place rice in a 13x9"" baking dish and top with ham and stir to combine. Use as much or as little ham as you would like. I used almost 2 cups because I had a lot leftover from Christmas dinner.", "In a large bowl, mix broccoli cheddar soup, milk and sour cream. Start with 3/4 c milk and add more if you would like it a little runnier. I prefer my soup base a little thicker.", "Stir 1/2 c french fried onions, peas and 1/2 c cheddar cheese into the soup mixture.", "When combined, pour the soup mixture over the rice/ham mixture and stir well, but gently, to combine.", "Sprinkle 1/2 c cheddar cheese over the rice/soup mixture.", "Top this with 1/4 c (or more) french fried onions.", "In a plastic bag, crush croutons. It took about 1/4 bag of croutons to get 1/4 cup of crushed croutons (and I used the cheesy garlic flavor).", "Sprinkle crushed croutons over top of all.", "Bake, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes or until the edges start to get bubbly and it is heated through."]
