Kittencal's Creamy Mushroom Risotto Bake

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"The rice must be cold so use leftover cold rice or make a day ahead and refrigerate, I use converted rice for this but white long grain will do fine as long as the rice is semi-firm and not overcooked see my recipe#350260 --- If you prefer a thicker rice casserole then omit the milk or reduce to 1/4 cup. The complete recipe may be doubled, this is *really* good! :)"

This was easy to make. Very creamy and very, very tasty. Made as a side dish to pork chops. My one year old and I ate this the next day for lunch as well. Will make this again soon.

Kitten, This tasted like a really good mushroom risotto to me. It was simple to make, yet really tasty. I served this at Christmas dinner and am really glad that I did. I did not have the celery, but otherwise followed the recipe. Delicious!

WOW, this is GOOD! I used fresh mushies because I had some in the fridge. The combo of the veggies and sour cream and the rice with the creaminess can't be beat. Everyone at my table had seconds of this (even DH!). I did lower the fat (sorry Kit) by softening the onion in water in place of the butter, using reduced fat mushie soup, skim milk, low fat mayo, fat free sour cream. If it was this good with my fat cuts this has to really be To Die For at full fat richness! Don't skip the parm cheese, it's really the crowning glory in this lovely creation. I served it with broiled chicken breast and steamed broccoli/cauliflower mixed. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
