Baked French Rice

"I have made this SO many times with Creamy Chicken Bake, for family and friends, that they expect it at least once a year. My friend, Diane, first served us this 30 years ago, when we were neighbors."

Questions & Replies

  1. My Mom made this dish and it was my favorite. Do you use a can of french onion soup? My Mom’s recipe says onion soup. The only can soup I find is french onion. Thank you

  1. Made this for the Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap #81 and this was a hit. I used fresh mushrooms (that is what I had) and added a small clove of minced garlic but otherwise followed the instructions.. This was a delicious rice dish! Served with recipe#305221#305221 and broccoli. Thank you for posting and I know we will have this again.
     
  2. halved this, and didnt add the water chestnuts, (picked up a can of bean sprouts by accident) Used dried French onion soup and water, as we just dont have canned onion soup. Used fresh mushrooms, and threw in a cup of frozen peas towards the end, (to make up for the chestnuts :)<br/>easy and tasty. Made for Aussie swap oct 2011
     
  3. I didn't want to use canned onion soup, so used onion soup mix with water and it worked great! I also used fresh mushrooms. My husband enjoyed it too! Thanks! Made for the Australian Swap-Nov. 2009.
     
  4. A very easily prepared and delicious rice dish, we all really enjoyed this. I couldn't find canned onion soup when shopping, so used a can of mushroom soup, which, together with fresh mushrooms rather than canned, gave us a well-flavoured mushroom rice! Since the family really enjoy mushrooms, this was well-received. I sprinkled some mozzarella cheese on top for the last ten minutes or so of baking. I'll be making this again, and will keep my eyes out for onion soup, especially for this! Made for Aus/NZ swap#29
     
  5. Substituted frozen peas for the mushrooms in this recipe & still had A GREAT TASTING RICE DISH! Especially enjoyed the inclusion of the water chestnuts, & the onion soup gave a nice change from the usual 'cream of . . .' whatever kind! Thanks for a keeper!

<p>This photo of DH and me was taken on our 50th anniversary, 12/27/08. Both DDs and 2 DGC celebrated with us. <br /><br />DH and I live about 40 miles north of Baltimore, in what WAS rural 40 years ago. We are empty-nesters. Have 2 adult daughters, 2 great SIL, and 3 grandchildren --1 is 22, and 16 year old twins. In September of 2011, we were presented with our first GREAT-grandson !&nbsp; They all live in PA. and are VERY busy people ! <br /><br />I retired from MANY facets of nursing 12 years ago, and LOVE being in charge of myself ! <br /><br />We had a 4-couple Gourmet Group for so many years, that we ran out of new things and themes. Now we meet at restaurants, to avoid trashing the kitchen as well as the budget. We started with 7 course meals! None of us can DO that anymore !! <br />We have been VERY fortunate to be able to travel more than we ever dreamed !! Have B&amp;B'd in Great Britain many times; visited Italy, Greece, France, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Switzerland, and Iceland (in February !) We would far rather stay in B&amp;B, or self-catering apartment or dwelling, than be on a tour. Our trip in '09, was to 2 small towns in Sicily --Sant'Alfio, on the slope of Mount Etna, in a 15th century, converted winery --and a week on the north coast near Cefalu. Very few spoke English, but everyone was helpful and we managed to communicate, and had a wonderful time ! (Photos in Gallery on website below !) We&nbsp; returned there in Sept. '11, for a 2 week vinyard tour with a small group, led by our local wine store owner - whose family is still in Sicily ! <br /><br />DH is my photographer - (and a website designer) but he insists on set-up time as well as a hot meal ! I should plan ahead for serving appeal, so he can get the best shot. <br /><br />I am now a SIX year survivor of colon cancer, as of 5/11, and four year of thyroid. Angels on my shoulder found both lesions before I even had symptoms ! I strongly encourage screening colonoscopies starting at age 50 -- that is ONE which can be totally avoided ! <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /> <br />Was adopted by LMiller,RN <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br />Was adopted by RecipeReader <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br />Adopted ElaineAnn <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br />Was adopted by ANG11002 <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br />Adopted *Pixie* <br /><br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/Zaar%20Food%20Photos/Food%20Photos%202008/herbspicesticker.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br />Partner - PaulaG <br /><br /><img src=http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/Swap14.JPG alt= /> l <br />Teamed with PaulaG, CarolAT, and Sonya01 <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br />Adopted Kathy!!, DuChick, and Maito <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br />Adopted by Shirl(J) <br /><br />Australia/NZ Swap # 16 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Hebe-1.jpg alt= /> <br />Partners -Kumquat the Cat's Friend, Red Chef Mama, and Twissis <br /><br />Australia/NZ Swap #17 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/boronia.jpg alt= /> <br />Teammates - Chickee, Whatcha Cookin' Mom, and MarthaStewartWanabe <br /><br />Australia/NZ Swap #18 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/BottleBrush.jpg alt= /> <br />Teammates - Jewelies, djmastermum, and mummamills <br /><br />Australia/NZ Swap #19 with joey <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/quokka2-1.jpg alt= /> <br />Teammates- Elmotoo, Heydarl, Baby Kato <br />adopted Joey - Madilayn <br /><br />Australia/NZ Swap #20, Sept/08 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/FringeLily.jpg alt= /> <br />Teammates -I'm Pat, Porfavorcorona, pollyw <br /><br /><img src=http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/UsedBooksBanner2.jpg alt= /> <br />Partner - Connie C. <br /><br /><img src=http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z205/jubespage/AussieRecipeSwap.gif alt= /> <br /><br />Australia/NZ Swap #21 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Dryandra-1-1.jpg alt= /> <br />Teammates - Jewelies, Baby Kato, Lavender Lynn <br /><br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Cooking-Kangaroo-1-1.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><a href=http://s270.photobucket.com/albums/jj117/tommysmom_photos/?action=view?t=shoeboxswap.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj117/tommysmom_photos/shoeboxswap.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br />Partner - SrtaMastra <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br />Adopted by Slatts <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br />Adopted ChamoritaMomma and tonyp063 <br /><br />Australia/NZ Swap #22 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Erica-1-1.jpg alt= /> <br />Teammates- Sarah_Jayne, busyozmum, mummamills <br />2 phutukawas and a pukeko in a ponga tree! <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Pohutukawa-2-1.jpg alt= /> <br />Teammates - Dotty2 and Sheynath <br /><br /><img src=http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z205/jubespage/2008AussieNZChristmasCardExchange.gif alt= /> <br />Sent to Sonya01, received from Sarah !.
