Oven-Baked Mushroom Rice Pilaf
This wonderful rice casserole is one of my mother-in-law’s holiday side dishes but it is delicious and comforting with any meal. It bakes in the oven leaving you time to worry about your other dishes. Her original recipe calls for a can of sliced mushrooms and a can of condensed french onion soup but the french onion soup has gotten difficult to find so this year we fancied it up with fresh sliced mushrooms, sauteed onions, and beef stock.
Mushroom Rice Pilaf
serves 8-12, prep 10 mins, cook 75 min (15 min hands-on)- 4 tbsp butter, divided
- 2 cups thinly sliced mushrooms

i’m not that handy in the kitchen so i had a quick Q: is the rice uncooked? (i think it is, but i want to make sure)
