I have a question about this recipe. I always get a little nervous if I don't precook the rice that is in a casserole. Do you think I can go ahead and precook this rice or will it turn gooey?

It is a hand-me-down recipe (affectionately known as Goop) that is always requested for gatherings and potluck dinners. This can be put together hours ahead of time, and just let it rest on the counter until ready to bake. In fact, it will cook faster the longer you let it sit on the counter. It's simple, but quite addictive. Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 1 hour Total Time: 1 hour, 10 minutesPT1H10M Yield: 8 to 10 servings Ingredients: . 1 cup raw long-grain rice (not instant) . 4 Tablespoons (1/4 cup or 1/2 stick) butter, melted (liquefied, but cool) . 2 cups frozen chopped broccoli, thawed . 1 cup diced sweet onions . 1 can cream of mushroom soup (undiluted) . 1 soup can, full of water . 8 ounces Velveeta (processed cheese food) cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes . 1/2 teaspoon salt Preparation: Preheat oven to 375 F. Mix rice and melted butter together in oven-proof casserole (a 3-quart covered casserole or Dutch oven should do it). Mix in broccoli, sweet onions, mushroom soup, water, cheese, and salt until well-combined. Cover tightly and bake about 1 to 1-1/4 hours in preheated oven, stirring once mid-way through cooking. Cooking time may vary depending on how long mixture sits before baking. The longer it sits, the less cooking time is needed. Always test rice for doneness before serving. Cooking times vary with different ovens and casserole dishes, and you do not want any surprises. Recipe may be doubled. Yield: 8 to 10 servings Variation: You may also add fresh, peeled raw shrimp or cooked chicken cubes for extra protein. Note: This can be put together hours ahead of time, and just let rest on the counter until ready to cook. In fact, it will cook faster the longer you let it sit on the counter.

I had one years ago and it was so good! I need it to feed about twelve to fifteen people. Anybody have one?
