FAQ
1. Can I use brown rice instead of white rice?
Yes! Brown rice adds a nutty flavor and extra fiber, but ensure it’s pre-cooked since it takes longer to soften.
2. Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Absolutely. Assemble the casserole and refrigerate it overnight before baking the next day.
3. Can I cook this in a slow cooker?
Yes! Layer the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
4. What other toppings work well?
Sour cream, shredded cheese, or even crispy bacon bits add great texture and flavor.
