Note

Ensure the rice is fully cooked before adding it to the casserole to prevent it from becoming mushy or undercooked during baking.

You can substitute fresh or leftover cooked rice for convenience.

For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the mixture.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

If using raw frozen corn, ensure it is completely thawed to avoid excess moisture in the pie.
