1Combine rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
2Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

4In a bowl, toss the remaining 1/2 cup sliced almonds and cornflakes cereal with the melted butter. Spread evenly over the casserole.
5Bake 35 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned.
