Used to make this recipe 30+ years ago. Used loads of mushrooms grated and sautéed then added presauted onions that were golden to the mushrooms. Added beef broth and baked. Everyone loved it ! Haven't made it for a long time...will try it soon. Thanks for reminding me!

Gosh, me too. I haven't thought about this recipe in years even though it's in my "stash". The kids really liked it, now it's just the two of us, so don't cook too much these days. Delish !!

Hi LilBit! I don't use this recipe, but baking rice is the best way for me to make it. It comes out perfect all the time, vs stove top, microwave or rice cooker.

It's cooked evenly, fluffy and moist. All the time!

DH sometimes makes a large batch of brown and wild rice on stovetop. Refrigerates the leftover which some times will last a week.

Sounds good, except for the mushrooms! (I'd leave them out, or substitute something else.)

Lilbit, I must be the only one who's never fixed baked rice and this looks so good; I love all the ingredients and think this will make a nice 'new' dish for our family. Thank you.

Could I use an equal amount of ""Better Than Bullion"" instead of 2 cans of broth?? Sounds good -- think I will make it!

This sounds great. Just one question: what size are the cans? 10 3/4 oz. or 14 oz.?

I've done something similar, and just left it on the burner 'til the liquid is absorbed.......Nice cold weather comfort food!

This sounds right up my alley - I'm not a fan of potatoes, so it'd be a nice side dish. Thanks for posting!

Thank you for this recipe. Are you using white or brown rice? If not brown, what would change in the recipe?

What size cans of broth? The 14-oz. Swanson-type?? Or the Campbell's condensed that you add water to? Please let me know -- I am going to make this tonight. . . .Thanks.
