Casseroles and other comfort foods
This delicious classic requires 30 to 40 minutes of hands-on time, plus about an equal amount of baking. So, while it may not qualify as a quick dish to make when you come home from work, it’s a comforting weekend meal. It’s substantial and filling, though my family rarely leaves leftovers.

Traditionally, it’s made by cooking the rice on the stovetop, ladling in hot broth and stirring almost constantly. An easier route to this wonderful dish is to simply combine the basic ingredients in a deep casserole dish and bake, giving it a good stir every 15 minutes until done (the entire process takes an hour).
