Kittencal's Oven Baked Brown Rice

---

If you love brown rice then try this recipe, the rice bakes out perfect all the time! If you are using a highly-salted broth then you may want to reduce the salt slightly, for extra heat add in some cayenne pepper --- i also like to add in a few small bay leaves for added flavor ---- the recipe may be reduced to half, for vegetarian use vegetable broth or water and olive oil in place of butter --- this may also be made without the onion and garlic, see note on bottom.
