The name comes from the instruction not to open the oven or lift the foil while it bakes. Keeping the dish sealed helps the rice cook properly and absorb all the liquid.

3. Do I have to use cream of mushroom soup?

No, you can use any cream soup like cream of chicken or cream of celery. The recipe is flexible.

4. How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

5. Can I add vegetables to this dish?

Yes, you can add frozen peas or carrots to the rice before baking for extra nutrition.
