Notes

  • Add shredded cheddar cheese to the rice or on top for a cheesy variation.
  • Mix in frozen peas, carrots, or green beans for added vegetables.
  • Substitute one of the soups with cream of celery or cheddar soup for variety.
  • Use brown rice with 1/2 cup extra liquid and increase baking time by 20–30 minutes.
  • Top with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme after baking for added flavor.
