Recipe Tips

You can prepare the rice stuffing a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
You can also freeze the rice stuffing for up to 2 months. To reheat, bake in the oven at 350°F for 20-30 minutes or until heated through.
If you prefer a more moist stuffing, you can add a little chicken or vegetable broth to the rice mixture before baking.
If you want to add a little crunch to the stuffing, you can sprinkle some chopped nuts, such as pecans or almonds, on top before baking.
