"company's Coming" Rice
"It just doesn't get much easier than this fool-proof rice sidedish. It won't look like much when it goes in the oven, but trust me, it comes out perfect every time. I've been making it for holiday dinners for years. It takes 5 minutes or less to throw together and can go in the oven with those other last minute dishes or prepare it ahead and reheat in the microwave at serving time if oven space is a problem. Note: The original recipe called for 1/2 cup butter but I found that to be excessive."

Easy recipe to throw together and forget about while it's baking. I used canned mushrooms instead of the water chestnuts. Would work well as a side with most anything - especially good with beef. -
My husband and I did not care for this rice. We like everything that went into it, just didn't like how it tasted together I guess. We froze the leftovers (hate to be wasteful) and ended up using some in a casserole. It did freeze very well and the casserole was great, so I'm not sure why we didn't enjoy this, sorry! -
This was GREAT! I made according to the recipe, with the exception of slicing up a few fresh mushrooms and adding them. SUPER yummy. Will be making again. Thanks for posting! -
Easy and delicious! I used homemade onion soup mix mixed with water to make the french onion soup that was called for. This baked up perfectly in exactly 45 minutes. It was a perfect side dish for Asian Pork Steaks Recipe #149924. Thanks :) -
What a great flavor twist on rice! It's easy to make and has incredible flavor. I substituted mushrooms for the chestnuts. The family asked that it be put in our side dish rotation!

Mother of three young adult children. Work parttime in the insurance world. Number one pasttime would be taking and editing pictures (need any edited, let me know!), followed by traveling, reading, and gardening.
Love to take all kinds of pictures but my best are either portraits or close ups of flowers and other nature shots. My poor kids have had to be patient with Mom and her camera ("hold that pose") and my neighbors have probably considered having me committed after watching me practically standing on my head trying to get that perfect shot in my flower beds.
Thanks to my kids' musical talents, I have been able to chaperon trips to England, Scotland, Hong Kong and mainland China. More of my vacations in recent years have been to Canada than to my own country. Was I Canadian in a past life??? Hoping to live on the west coast of Canada, at least part time, someday soon!
