Tips:
- Use a variety of rice. You can use any type of rice you like, but long-grain rice like basmati or jasmine rice works best. You can also use brown rice, but it will take longer to cook.
- Rinse the rice before cooking. This will remove the starch and help the rice cook evenly.
- Use a flavorful broth. The broth you use will add a lot of flavor to the rice bake. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth.
- Add vegetables and protein. Vegetables and protein will add bulk and flavor to the rice bake. You can use any vegetables you like, such as broccoli, carrots, peas, or corn. You can also use cooked chicken, beef, or pork.
- Season the rice bake to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of grated cheese or a dollop of sour cream.
- Bake the rice bake until it is golden brown and bubbly. This will usually take about 30 minutes.
