Cook the rice according to pkg directions, minus 1/4 cup water. Let cool

If freezing for later use, Wrap securely with plastic wrap, then with aluminum foil. Place the pan into a plastic freezer bag and seal. Freeze. Prepare a label with these instructions: Completely thaw in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, remove the foil and plastic wrap. Bake, uncovered, at 325º for 30 minutes, until bubbly.
