Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Combine all ingredients in a 2 1/2- or 3-quart baking dish and combine thoroughly with a whisk.

Cover the dish and bake for 1 hour until all the liquid has been absorbed.

Stir the rice before serving. (If you are using a gourmet rice, such as basmati, the cooking time will be a bit longer.)
