Note

The instant rice will cook in the liquid from the soup and milk during baking. Do not substitute long-grain or brown rice, as they require more liquid and time.

For a crispier topping, you can broil the casserole for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.

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