Measure rice accurately using the measuring cup that came with your rice cooker. Rinse rice until water clears, drain and place in the inner cooking pan.
Add water to the corresponding water level for “WHITE RICE,” and stir well with rice using the rice spatula. Cook the rice using the “WHITE RICE” setting.

Lightly coat inside of oven proof dish with small amount of olive oil. Reserve the rest for later.
When rice completes cooking, add Italian style “Four Cheese Sauce” to cooked rice and evenly fold into the rice using the rice spatula.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Place 1/3 of mixed rice evenly into the oiled dish, then evenly layer 1/3 of the marinara sauce or meat sauce over the first layer of rice. Repeat until all rice and sauce is used. The final layer should be of marinara or meat sauce.
Sprinkle cheese and breadcrumb mixture from step 3 and drizzle remaining olive oil evenly over the cheese mixture.
