  • Cook the rice until it is al dente: You don't want the rice to be mushy, so cook it until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Sauté the onions until they are caramelized: This will add a delicious sweetness and depth of flavor to the casserole.
  • Use a casserole dish that is large enough to hold all of the ingredients: A 9x13 inch casserole dish is a good size.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and bubbly: This will take about 30 minutes.
