Beryl: Hi everybody we are back, we are ready to grate our cheddar cheese. This is Ashley and this is one of her favorite things to do. We have our Mouli Grater. She has put one chunk of cheese in here. We are actually going to grate up about four or five cups of cheese. Now, we had better get busy.

Beryl: We have our rice cooked and our broccoli cooked so we are going to put in a big bowl, everything all together. And we got a few guests here and this is one of their favorite dish. So we are glad that you came. We have our broccoli cooked. There we go. Right now Ashley is chopping up the broccoli, a little bit. And then we are going to pour in the one cup of milk for about half of it right now. And I am going to help her spoon in the mushroom soup. Okay, stir that up.

Beryl: And look at all that cheese we grated up. Let us just put it, most of it. Sprinkle that in there. So, we are going to stir this up good and then we are going to pour it into a greased casserole dish and we will bake it on more than 350 for about 30 minutes, and we will see you in a little while.
