Bulgur & Wild Rice Casserole image

Did you know that wild rice is not actually rice, but the seed of a grass native to the lakes of the upper Midwest and southern Canada? Bulgar is made by steam-cooking and drying whole-wheat kernels, then cracking them into pieces. From BH&G. Healthy stuff! This is easy to make vegan- just use a vegan margarine and vegetable broth and you're set. This uses cooked wild rice, so if you've got some left over, this might be a good one to try. I think it would probably freeze well, too.

This casserole was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and very flavorful. I used brown rice instead of wild rice, and it turned out great. I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the mix. Will definitely be making this again!
