For this recipe, I recommend cooking 2 cups of uncooked rice to equal about 6 cups of cooked rice and freezing the extra in a freezer-grade container or zip-top bag for future use. Depending on the rice you use the amount of liquid can change so refer to the rice package or read the recommendations in this article <a href=\"https:\/\/food.unl.edu\/article\/nutrition-education-program-nep\/all-about-cooking-rice\">All About Cooking Rice<\/a> (University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/food-health\/recipes\/spinach-rice-casserole\/spinach-rice-casserole-label-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7653\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7653\" src=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/food-health\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/01\/Spinach-Rice-Casserole-Label.jpg\" alt=\"Spinach Rice Casserole Food Nutrition Facts Label: Click on this image for complete nutrition information.\" width=\"250\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/food-health\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/01\/Spinach-Rice-Casserole-Label.jpg 500w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/food-health\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/01\/Spinach-Rice-Casserole-Label-150x300.jpg 150w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/food-health\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/01\/Spinach-Rice-Casserole-Label-70x140.jpg 70w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/food-health\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/01\/Spinach-Rice-Casserole-Label-317x634.jpg 317w, https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/food-health\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/01\/Spinach-Rice-Casserole-Label-423x846.jpg 423w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,250px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recipe Ingredients and Instructions to Download and Print:\u00a0Spinach-Rice Casserole (PDF) Serves 12 | Serving size: 1 cup Ingredients 1 cup onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced or 1 teaspoon minced garlic 3 Tablespoons butter 1 pound (~15 cups) fresh spinach (or other greens such as bok choy, Swiss chard or kale), chopped 4 eggs, beaten [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":173,"featured_media":0,"parent":689,"menu_order":33,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/page-withsidebar.php","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-831","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Spinach-Rice Casserole - Cooperative Extension: Food &amp;
