Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃). Rinse the rice with water and drain.
In an approximately 13”x18”x2½” baking dish, combine all ingredients and stir so that everything is fully incorporated.
Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Double the foil if you can because it helps cook faster.
Gently place in the oven and cook for 70-80 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and check after 70 minutes. I’ve made this recipe several times, and 75 minutes works best in my oven.
When the rice is done, remove it carefully from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Then carefully remove the aluminum foil, fluff with a fork, and stir in your add-ins until evenly combined. Serve warm.
