This is a wonderful spicy rice casserole, for more heat increase the cayenne! Ground chicken or turkey can be substituted for the ground pork if desired. Substitute any kind of mushrooms for the shiitake if desired, but shiitake is best to use! Although the recipe states to use short-grain rice, I use Uncle Ben's converted white rice successfully for this recipe.
