Cover and place in 325 degree oven for 20 minutes. Serve and listen to the compliments.

Simple enough? Well, you ain't heard nuthin' yet. I have had people complain that theirs wasn't like mine. Upon questioning them, I learned why. Here are a few reasons.

1. Used instant rice.

2. Used another shortening, not butter.

3. Left out the onion.

4. Failed to cover the rice while baking.

5. Used water instead of broth.

6. Allowed rice to boil for some time before placing in oven.

7. Let broth cool before using.

8. Baked for 40 minutes.

9. Liked onions, so added second onion.

Now I ask you! Why can't some people just follow instructions?
