Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking.
Step 2: Cook the Rice
- Prepare the rice according to package directions. Set aside once cooked.
Step 3: Mix the Base

Step 4: Add Cheese

Step 6: Top & Finish
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the top in the last 5 minutes of baking. Let it melt until bubbly and golden.
Step 7: Rest & Serve
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving. This helps everything set for perfect portions.
