A delightful and easy-to-make dish combining savory ham, sweet pineapple, and fluffy rice, baked to perfection.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, diced ham, crushed pineapple, brown sugar, ground mustard, and lemon juice.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all flavors are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until heated through and slightly golden on top.
Check halfway through to ensure it doesn't overcook.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and serve warm.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
