Easy Rice Casserole

 
While I am taking some time to catch up on assignments for my classes (seems never-ending), there will be a guest post today on the blog.  Hope you enjoy the yummy
and easy casserole Kristin is bringing us!
 
Today’s recipe is a guest post by Kristin, a writer for Marie Callender’s and other ConAgra brands. She resides in Chicago with her Bichon Frise, Joey. When she’s not jogging, binge-watching shows on Netflix or taking a bubble bath, she’s trying new recipes.  Her favorite dishes include breakfast sandwiches in the morning, Mediterranean-style wraps for lunch and rice-based dishes (with lots of Cholula) for dinner.
 
As falls approaches, it’s getting quite chilly in Chicago.  But honestly, I never know what Mother Nature has planned for the Midwest; one day it’s hot and the next day it’s freezing! For the chillier nights, I use my oven to warm up the kitchen a bit, as I get cold quickly. I am definitely not looking forward to Chicago’s winter! Why not kill two birds with one stone and get warm while I bake? I love baking rice casseroles in the fall— it’s a favorite among friends and family! The magic behind casseroles is that you can throw in your choice of vegetables and call it a day.
