For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken stock instead of water to cook the wild rice. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables such as mushrooms, peas, or carrots to customize the casserole to your liking. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, cover the casserole dish with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
