I grew up on this recipe, my Grandmother got it from a lady from church at a pot luck a long time ago! She passed it down to my mom and it's always been a family favorite. Quick and easy for school nights, and the leftovers are just as good! You can use less butter on top of course, my Momma and Mamaw always put the full stick on top (gotta love Southern ladies and their butter!)

CREAMY MUSHROOM-RICE CASSEROLE



Creamy Mushroom-Rice Casserole image

This is like a savory rice pudding, I prefer fresh sautéed mushrooms but canned will do fine, the rice will need to be cooked and completely cold before using, I sometimes like to add in steamed broccoli florets, if desired you may sprinkle some grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese on after baking and return to oven for a few minutes --- this may be doubled but you will need a very large casserole dish, a double recipe will not fit into a 13x9 dish --- prep time does not include cooking the rice.
