Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Put a pot of water on the stove to boil for broccoli.
Cook onion and butter on medium-low heat until softened and translucent; stir in flour, garlic powder and pepper; cook 2 minutes.
Gradually pour in milk while whisking; continue whisking over medium heat until thick and bubbly. Remove from heat; add dry mustard, paprika, cream cheese and 1 1/2 c. cheddar cheese; stir until melted.
Cook broccoli in boiling water for about 2 minutes; drain. (It should still be slightly crisp as it cooks more in the oven.)
Stir together rice, broccoli and cheese sauce in a greased 2 quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.
Bake 35 minutes or until bubbly and cheese lightly browned.
