Very yummy side dish. A dear lady used to bring this to work for pot-lucks and everyone loved it. You could easily cut this recipe in half. (Cooking time is based on using a slow cooker!)

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole turned out dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This California Rice Casserole was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and had a delicious flavor. I used brown rice instead of white rice and it turned out great. I also added some chopped broccoli and carrots for extra vegetables.
