YUM! I love this stuff! For those of you saying this was a bit dry, I'm thinking you must not have cooked your mushrooms long enough because they give off lots of juice when they're cooked. Mine actually had quite a bit of liquid. I used beef broth instead of veggie broth (as beef flavor compliments mushrooms so well) and I think I will always make it that way. I used a little more veggies than called for and 2 cloves of garlic instead of one (I LOVE garlic!). I also left out the thyme as I don't care much for it. I will make this again and again!

Very good recipe! I used sweet peppers instead of the mushrooms and it turned out wonderful. Thank you!

So good! Broccoli and mushrooms are my two favorite veggies and they were great together in this dish! I used chicken broth, and cooked the onions a little longer so they would soften and get golden. I mixed the rice into the veggies and served with baked chicken. Made for Cooking Tag Mania.

This was terrific. I could eat this every day. It has all of my favorites, so I knew I would like it, but everyone else loved it too. I've never used quick cooking brown rice before, but it was very good in this dish and I will use it again. I made three separate batches, for company, as I wasn't sure if I would have problems trying to make it all in one pan. Next time I will double it for us and make it in one batch. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT6.

Very good. I used less onion than the recipe called for but that was personal preference. Thanks.
