    Pour into a prepared 9 x 13“ deep baking dish and bake for 60 minutes, covered with foil. The liquid should be all absorbed by now in the rice should be fully cooked. Different ovens can vary so check on it at the 50 minute mark, but if it looks like it needs a little longer, keep it in the oven.
