This rice mix is very popular in our home - goes well with chicken, pork or fish. It makes great gifts also when packaged in a jar with a nice ribbon. I make it with brown rice and adjust the cooking time as needed. The casserole is comforting and satisfying as well. The prep/cooking time is based on the casserole recipe. **NOTE** Where the ingredients list 1 cup rice, mix - it is calling for the Homemade Seasoned Rice Mix. Ingredients:
