Notes
- I use rice that's labeled as "long grain white rice" on the package. You should be able to find it easily at most major grocery stores. Jasmine and basmati rice are varieties of long grain white rice that may work in this recipe, but I have not tested them specifically. You may need to adjust timing. I don't recommend using instant rice. Brown rice will likely take longer to cook and need more liquid.
- To double this recipe to serve 8, use a 9x13 baking dish, double all ingredients, and check after the recommended cooking time. If the rice still isn't done, just pop it back in the oven for a bit longer.
- I recommend using unsalted butter as this dish can end up quite salty otherwise.
- This recipe is accurate as tested at sea level. Keep in mind cooking time may vary depending on altitude and individual ovens and baking dishes.
