- 4. Bake, uncovered, at 350^ for 45 to 50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Use Day-Old Rice: Day-old rice is less sticky and holds its shape better in the casserole, resulting in a better texture.
- Toast the Pecans: Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and adds a nice crunch to the casserole.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the casserole dense and gummy. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake Until Golden Brown: The casserole is done baking when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the Casserole Cool Slightly Before Serving: Letting the casserole cool slightly before serving allows it to set and makes it easier to slice.
