Notes
- It is important to cover the casserole with foil as the steam allows it to continue cooking.
- This casserole must rest 10 minutes before serving to thicken up.
- Some brands of wild rice mixture come with a separate seasoning packet. This adds both flavor and salt to the dish. It can be used or left out based on personal preference.
- Wild rice can be substituted for any kind of cooked rice.
