These Grab-and-Go Broccoli Cheddar Rice Cups Only Need 5 Ingredients

As you could easily surmise from a look at my history of writing at Spoon University, I am a fan of grab-and-go recipes. I have all kinds of free time on the weekend, but there’s always those days during the middle of the week when I have class all day, a night class, a club meeting, and homework. 

Do I run to the block near my apartment that’s occupied end to end with fast food? Sometimes. But mostly I make the effort to prepare something on the weekend that I can grab on my way out the door throughout the week. So here’s another recipe like that for you to try.
