Notes
- Long-grain rice: Any rice works such as long-grain American, basmati, or jasmine. Brown rice takes longer to cook, so plan on at least an hour in the oven.
- Butter: It's okay to reduce the butter to 2 tablespoons. Or, substitute 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Yield: This recipe makes about 6 cups cooked rice (1 cup uncooked rice yields about 3 cups cooked).
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
