However, if you like to be extra careful (because who wants a casserole dish exploding in their oven), I would let it sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes and then put it in the oven to cook. So my advice on this is, put it in the oven, then preheat it with the casserole dish in there so it warms up slowly with the oven. I’d like to advise that putting a cold casserole (or glass) dish straight into a hot oven is probably NOT a good idea. Well, everything but the buttery Ritz topping because otherwise it’ll get soggy.īut everything else, you can mix together right in the casserole dish and put it in the fridge and put in the oven later. With this casserole recipe, you can put it all together ahead of time. Or at least prep the parts of a meal that you can. If you’re anything like me, you like to prep meals ahead of time. How to prep this broccoli, rice, and chicken casserole ahead of time It was actually fairly easy to pick off the pieces because it was just like an entire sheet of burnt of Ritz crackers so you could pick them off in large pieces. I ended up picking off all the burnt pieces (with some left behind, as you can see in the photos above, but don’t they just look like ground pepper flakes?) and was able to salvage the casserole! Good thing it was a nice-ish day out so having the windows and doors open weren’t a huge deal. I basically just had to wait until the smoke cleared. They’re all connected to each other so when one goes off, the others go off too. I had to get on my laptop to Google how to turn them off, but I still couldn’t get them to turn off!! I went and opened all the windows and doors, and the fire alarm still went off. Opened the oven door to see a carbon black casserole and smoke was coming out of the oven. I immediately knew what was up and said, “shit!” and ran into the kitchen. Your nose knows when you smell that good ‘ole burning scent. So, I stuck the casserole under the broiler, for what I intended to be only 3-5 minutes, but I forgot to set the timer so I went into the living room and got on my laptop and started catching up on email. Ha, I definitely got that color…I also got an entire house’s fire alarm going off. That is what happens when you forget to set the timer and stick the casserole under the broiler to just get the crust a “bit more color.” You probably can’t really tell, but the entire top of this casserole was CARBON BLACK. Wanna know the truth about the pictures of this casserole? This meal comes together in less than 45 minutes and it takes one bowl and one casserole dish! Put this together ahead of time and pop it in the oven when you get home from work! This easy broccoli, rice, and chicken casserole is topped with a buttery Ritz cracker crust.
