Notes

Make sure to bring the broth to a boil, use foil, and stick to the ratio of liquid to rice.

To add cheese, remove the foil at the end of the cooking time, sprinkle cheese evenly, and return the casserole to the oven to bake for 8-10 minutes or broil for 3-4 minutes (my preference).

Serve 4-6 as a side. If serving for dinner, serve with buttered bread for a more filling meal.
