Ingredients: 1 (10-ounce) bag frozen cut broccoli in cheese sauce; 1 (4.5 to 6-ounce) box long-grain and wild rice blend; 2 tablespoons unsalted butter; 1/2 medium onion, chopped; 1 stalk celery, chopped; 1/2 cup sliced almonds; 4 ounces cooked ham steak, cubed (about 3/4 cup); 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme; 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 3 cups half and half; Sweet or smoked paprika, for garnish, optional

1
Microwave the broccoli with cheese sauce and cook the rice according to the directions on each of the packages. Set aside.

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Cook the onions, celery, and almonds in the butter, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the almonds are lightly browned, about 6 minutes.
