Baked Brown Rice

I LOVE brown rice. I think it's delicious, but prior to finding this recipe I pretty much could never get it right. Most of the time when I made it, it was far too crunchy, even when I doubled the cooking time. Until I found this recipe, that is! I pretty much copied this recipe step by step, and it's absolutely delicious. I don't think I'll ever make brown rice differently!!

Place the rice in an 8 inch square glass baking dish.

Bring the water, 1 tablespoon of butter,and salt just to a boil, then pour over uncooked rice.

Once the water is poured over the rice, stir to combine it well. Then cover tightly with foil and place in your preheated oven for about an hour.

Serve and enjoy!!
