Creamy Green Rice Casserole

Submitted by karen

"I don't remember where I got this recipe. I think I cut it out of the local newspaper years ago. It's really easy and I think it could be modified easily to meet your tastes. I often use boil-a-bag rice for easy preparation, and have often used dried parsley (still using 1/2 cup) and it always turns out great."

I used long grain rice and after baking the texture of the rice was mushy. Next time I plan to undercook the rice a little. The dish itself is a nice side. Mine came out firm enough to serve in squares if desired. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

I substituted about 1/4 cup dried parsley for the fresh, and added some dill too. Used instant rice so I didn't need to cook it first. It turned out nice and cheesy - reminded me of creamed spinach.

This didn't work for us, it had a custard texture that didn't appeal. Thank you for posting Karen.

Great rice. I used 2 cups of cooked rice because it didn't look like enough with just the one cup. This turned out great and we really enjoyed it a lot. The garlic smelled great while cooking in the oven. Thanks Karen for sharing.
