a family favorite ever since."

Hi there! My grandmother used to make this all the time and we have her recipie, we have tried and tried to get it to come out like hers but we cant get the rice to stay intact and keep that harder form! We do fry it in a pan before and everything but it still comes out mushy! Any tips or kinds of rice to use? -
We tried the recipe, however we halved it as as there are only 2 of us. AS it turned out it was overly dry and we had to ad more consume. Does it appear to be dry when a full amount is made? Thank you for your help. -
I Love this, but I have a question. Is this recipe calling for fresh/raw mushrooms? Or sliced prepared/canned mushrooms? And if it's fresh/raw, can you sauté them with the butter and onions before they are baked?

Made this tonight and it was a big hit! I will definitely make this over and over again. (PS Don't skip the part where you toast the rice before adding to the casserole dish.)

I used baby bellas and loved the earthy full bodied flavor of the finished dish. Yum! Thank you for sharing the recipe! Made for Spring 2013 Pick A Chef.

Easy and delicious. I used portabella mushrooms as my choice and half the recipe as there was only the 2 of us. :) -
I LOVE this casserole, my mother made this all time while we were growing up. We called it "Rice a Roni" even tho there's no Roni in it. I still make it today and its always good!

Didn't have beef consomme on hand, but used 2 beef bullion cubes and water instead. Added mozzarella cheese on top for the last few minutes of baking.

<p>Hello, <br />I am a southerner, born and raised here in the deep south. I have many interest and you could probably call me a jack of all trades, master of none! Currently I am a school bus driver, before that I was a Costumer and manager/ buyer for a Costume shop, before that I spent a few years as a graphic designer. For the past 15 years in my free time, I have studied Medieval history and hope to one day get a degree in it. <br />I have 4 wonderful kitty's who allow me to live with them If I bribe them with food. Hehe, other wise they mutiny! I love snow skiing, mountain climbing,and archeology digs,most of which are not conducive to the south, so Its a good thing I love to travel! <br />Of course I love to cook and horde recipes like they are gold, I am also a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism's (SCA), where I am a baroness, painter of manuscripts, and leader of the local group. Thus my name. <br />One of the things I like doing in the SCA is cooking period food for 300 or so of my friends, after researching recipes and redacting them to suit modern taste. I have always been interested in different cultures and food is a wonderful way to experience a taste of someone else's world. Thats when I found Recipe ZAAR, and I have been enjoying new friendships and some great food here! <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /></p>
