Add chopped onions, celery, and artichokes to the baking dish. Next add the beans, and mix everything together and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the rice over top. Grate the Parmesan over top.
Bring the broth to a boil and then add the lemon juice and spices. Mix well. Pour carefully and slowly over into the casserole dish. Gently press the ingredients down into the broth. Everything should be submerged. Add foil. Bake for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil. Add the Havarti. Return to the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes or bake for 5 minutes, to melt the cheese. Serve hot.

Notes
Use hot broth! This helps the rice cooks through evenly. This is a must! The rice will not cook properly unless you do this.Cover tightly: Make sure the foil is sealed well around the edges so the steam stays trapped inside. That’s how the rice cooks perfectly.Once the casserole has cooled to room temperature (no more than two hours out), transfer leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate. Stored this way, it’s best eaten within 3-4 days.
