How to Make Yellow Rice Casserole Vegetarian

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook 1 cup of yellow rice according to package directions, using slightly less water than recommended for firmer rice and reducing cooking time by 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, 10.75 oz can (1 cup) cream of mushroom soup (ensure it's vegetarian!), 10 oz can (about 1 1/2 cups) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (undrained), and 1 (15 ounce) can mexicorn, drained.
  4. Pour the rice mixture into a greased 8x8 inch casserole dish.
  5. Top evenly with 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
  6. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
  7. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
