Very good! I used Arise' Bronzed Seafood Seasoning (not spicy and great on everything) and added a little garlic powder. Will definitely make again. Next time I will add a *little* less wild rice.

Great substitute for the boxed stuff! Very easy to put together, and great to be able to prep it in advance for fast use later. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for posting this recipe! It is fantastic! I used a roasted garlic & herb mix for the seasoning and cooked in chicken broth, then added some toasted chopped almonds. Great side dish! Will definitely make again!
