Tips

You can use cream of mushroom soup instead of chicken if you like. If you refrigerate or freeze, please make a note to stir the casserole to ensure the rice has not settled all in one portion of the casserole. Additional bake time will be required due to cold temperature of casserole at time of entry to oven.
