  • Step 6: Bake, covered in a buttered 1 1/2-quart casserole in a moderately slow oven, 325 degrees F, for 30 minutes.

  • Step 7: Remove cover, stir the mixture well with a fork, bake for 15 minutes at the same temperature.

  • Step 8: Stir once again and bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes longer.
