Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 ounces frozen spinach
1/4 cup onion
1/2 cup mixed mushrooms
1 cup cooked brown rice
4 ounces cheddar cheese
1/3 cup skim milk
2 medium eggs
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Thaw the spinach (microwave "defrost" setting, or in a sieve under cool running water), squeeze out the extra water, set aside in the sieve to finish draining.
  • Beat the eggs, shred the cheese, combine, set aside.
  • Mince the onions, slice the mushrooms, or use already-sliced criminis (life is too short to slice mushrooms! IMO).
  • In a medium saute pan, on med-high heat, heat half of the chicken broth, add the onions and bring to a simmer. Allow the broth to nearly cook away, while the onions become brown. Watch it - don't let it burn. As the broth simmers away, add the remaining broth and the mushrooms. Lower the heat as needed to maintain a low simmer. Give the onion/mushroom/broth mixture a stir, and when just a bit of broth is left, remove the saute pan from the heat.
  • Combine all ingredients in a baking pan and put in the oven, at 325 degrees for 35 - 40 minutes.
  • VERY IMPORTANT: be sure to use already-cooked rice.
  • (About cooking the rice ahead - I make a large-ish batch of it, and freeze it in smaller containers; it reheats pretty well in the microwave or skillet.).

KITTENCAL'S SPINACH PARMESAN RICE BAKE



Kittencal's Spinach Parmesan Rice Bake image

This is a wonderful easy side dish to chicken or meat and any leftovers freeze wonderful, it may also be baked in a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate and cut into wedges, this may be doubled but I would still only use one package or spinach or maybe 1-1/2 packages adding in too much spinach will overpower all other ingredients, prep time does not include cooking the rice --- FOR FREEZING prepare recipe as directed but do not bake, wrap pan in plastic wrap then tightly in foil and freeze, to serve thaw over night in refrigerator, remove wrapping bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until hot.

Brown Rice With Spinach and Feta Cheese image

Provided by Roosie

Categories     Spinach

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 cup brown rice
2 cups water or 2 cups broth
1 (10 ounce) box frozen spinach, thawed and drained

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it completely before adding it to the casserole.
  • Don't overcook the rice. Brown rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight chew to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Use a flavorful cheese. The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of the casserole. A sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese will give the casserole a more robust flavor, while a milder cheese like mozzarella or Monterey Jack will produce a more subtle flavor.
  • Season the casserole well. Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, and other spices to the casserole. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Brown rice and spinach casserole is a delicious and nutritious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of healthy ingredients and flavorful cheese, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
