This was the ultimate comfort food. My son asked what was in it and before I could answer he said he didn't care it smelled too good. My son and I ate the whole casserole. This was so easy- thank you so much!

Awesome! I receive great reviews every time I serve this tasty rice dish! It can be made a day in advance which makes it perfect for stress free entertaining during the holidays and through the rest of the year. In addition, it is easy to transport and works well when doubled. Preparation is simple, I am sure you won't be disappointed...thanks for posting this recipe, I just love it!
