For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter in the sauce. Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or asparagus. If you don't have chicken bouillon granules, you can use chicken broth instead. Reduce the amount of lemon juice slightly if using broth. To prevent the tilapia from drying out, you can tent the casserole with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

Jun 27, 2025Make sure to thaw your vegetables completely before adding them to the rice mixture. Otherwise, the casserole can be a little watery.

Jun 21, 2025The casserole was a bit bland for my taste, so I added some garlic powder and onion powder to the butter sauce. That made a big difference.
