Yellow Rice Casserole (Vegetarian)

Submitted by DSB404

"A family friend first turned me on to this dish. I warn you, it's addicting. Feel free to adapt to your personal taste (ie change the type of soup, heat of Rotel, etc.). One of the many wonderful things about a casserole. If vegetarian, please read the food labels before you buy. Most yellow rice mixes and cream soups contain chicken product. The ingredients I use below are completely vegetarian."

This a delicious recipe that I first saw in one of Jill Connor Brown's "Sweet Potato Queens" books. DSB is right - it is addicting and fat and calorie packed too. Sometimes I'll toss in some broccoli just to make myself feel a little better.
