OMG...summer months? You want us to turn oven on.....I don't think so!!

I have a similar recipe (same ingredients minus the rice) said to be baked @ 350 for an hour. I put it in my micro for about 12 minutes and it's the same in all respects. You might have to adjust pan size to fit your micro.

This sounds interesting, but.... How does the rice get cooked without any liquid. And who in their right mind wants to turn on the oven in the summer?

Thanks spatrick 7139407! I know this will be super helpful for readers thinking about making the recipe. -Editors of FaveHealthyRecipes

This casserole has a great taste, but the rice on the bottom got too crunchy for me! If I try it again, I'll put the rice in one of the middle layers.
