I had problems with this..prepared exactly as written. My problem was the rice didn't cook after the 1 hr. bake time, it as still as hard as-uhmm rice. I knew I'd better think of an alternate supper at that point. So I just increased the oven temp, sorry folks I believe 425' (I was frustrated at that point) and took it out I believe in 30 min. By than it was nasty looking, mushy. Put it in the 'fridge and re-heated it a couple of days later, the casserole had firmed up taste was fine but on the bland side. Thanks for posting Mercy!
