How to Make Baked Garlic Rice Pilaf

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 6 cloves of minced garlic and 1 ½ cups of long-grain rice. Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is translucent and the garlic is golden brown (about 5 minutes).
  4. Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper. Bring to a boil.
  5. Pour the rice mixture into a covered casserole dish.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes.
  7. Carefully remove the casserole from the oven and stir in 1 ½ cups of additional chicken broth.
  8. Cover and bake for another 45 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
  9. Fluff with a fork and serve hot. Recipe easily doubles without increasing cooking time!
