I have been making this dish for years - first found in the Southern Living Cookbook series. I put plain cooked rice on one side of the casserole and the rice with celery and onion on the other side because my son will only eat the rice plain! It is a wonderful dish and very easy.

This is a good empty pantry family dish. made it last night and since i have morningsickness nothing tastes that good :) but there were hardly any leftovers and nobody complained about the celery, which is amazing! This looked pretty, tasted good, and was a good, filling, (if somewhat high fat!) dinner...

I wonder if I could assemble a day ahead then bake the next day. Has anyone done that?
