Really easy & yummy recipe. <br/>I amended the recipe and added some marinated roasted red peppers, as well as some parm cheese, black pepper and a bit less milk. <br/>I also topped it with some smoked paprika and some french fried onions for some crunch. <br/>Great recipe and a keeper. Thanks Oolala.

I found this looking for something to do with a bunch of leftover basmati rice. Very tasty, although a very mild flavor. I like Martha's suggestion in the future of adding something like chiles or other spices to bump up the flavor. Seeing didyb's review, I decreased the amount of milk to around 1 2/3 cup and used a bit extra rice (around 1/4 cup extra). I also increased the cook temp to 375 and it still took about 45 min. I suspect we will be making this again, with some modifications as I mentioned already.

It was good. I had to increase the temp and cook time to get in done in 45 minutes. Next time I will decrease the amount of milk by 1/2 cup to help it get done in 30 minutes at 350. I had leftover mexican rice so it had some extra flavor to it. The idea of adding chilies is a good idea. Thanks for a good rice recipe.

I had left over brown rice and it worked very nicely. Also, I tool Martha's advice and added more salt...a word of caution, 1 t. is too much!!! My family is used to my oversalting, unfortunately, but I would say 1/2 t. would work well. I think it's a great recipe. Something I was looking for for this leftover (healthful) brown rice. Thanks.

What a great way to use up leftover rice. I always seem to have leftovers. My picky 18 month old at about 1/7 of this entire casserolle for lunch today. I personally would have liked more salt. But, I veer on the salty side. I'm going to try adding a tad bit more dry mustard and some drained diced chilies next time to add more spice. I can see adding a lot of different things to this... leftover bacon, sausage, hash browns, onions, peppers etc. Thanks for adding life to my boring leftovers!

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
