YELLOW RICE CASSEROLE
Here's another one I don't know where I got and haven't tried. Yellow rice is oldest DS's favorite food, so I have been meaning to make this for awhile. I don't know about the water chestnuts, DH is not a fan. If you get to this before me, let me know how it is! I don't know about the size of the mexicorn (this is a guess), but I think that it only comes in one size.

YELLOW RICE CASSEROLE (VEGETARIAN)
A family friend first turned me on to this dish. I warn you, it's addicting. Feel free to adapt to your personal taste (ie change the type of soup, heat of Rotel, etc.). One of the many wonderful things about a casserole. If vegetarian, please read the food labels before you buy. Most yellow rice mixes and cream soups contain chicken product. The ingredients I use below are completely vegetarian.

Tips:
- Select the best rice: Use high-quality, medium-grain or long-grain white rice. Basmati and jasmine rice are known for their aromatic fragrance, but any type of rice can be used.
- Enhance the flavor: Add aromatic ingredients like cumin, coriander, or cardamom to the rice before cooking. You can also add vegetables like carrots and peas for a colorful and flavorful twist.
- Adjust the liquid-to-rice ratio: The amount of liquid you add will depend on the type of rice you're using. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 1/2 cups of liquid for every cup of rice.
- Cook the rice properly: Follow the instructions on your rice cooker or package for the best results. Generally, you'll need to bring the rice and liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.
- Let the rice rest: After the rice is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the rice to absorb any remaining liquid and prevents it from becoming mushy.
- Add your favorite toppings: Yellow rice is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings. Popular options include grilled chicken, shrimp, vegetables, and sauces.
Conclusion:
From classic yellow rice to more creative twists with vegetables, spices, and herbs, the versatility of yellow rice makes it a beloved dish worldwide.
