Very easy to make at a moments notice. The first time I made it was too salty. Modified recipe and doubled rice and put only half the recommended amount of George Washington Broth. It turned out perfect! My 4 & 1 year old gobbled it up!

Do you have to have so much oil? Also, what kind of mushroom soup? Cream? Is it vegan? And the Washingtons broth is something that I can not find! Any suggestions?

September 22 2004 In addition to being a delicious meal, this recipe can also be used as a starting point from which many new creations can be made. The ideas are endless. To this recipe I added mushrooms, TVP, peas, bell peppers, paprika, basil, and curry powder. The variety of flavors that one adds could make this an India dish or a Mexican dish. Oh! The power of imagination!

I made this last night, it was very good. I had to special order the G Washington broth, though. If you can't find it in a store, you can order it from:

One more thing -- it seems that mushroom soup (not cream of mushroom soup) is impossible to find in any grocery store unless you make it yourself. I made this recipe again using miso soup and some vegetable broth. It was ok -- not fabulous. Also, I found that the veggies were a little too crunchy for my taste so I sauteed them for a few minutes before putting them in the casserole dish to bake.

This tasted awesome - but the rice barely cooked at all for me...possibly because I used brown rice rather than white rice. I let it cook for a full half hour longer in order to soak up all the extra liquid, and it was still really really chewy. I'm not sure what went wrong...but the recipe is so good, its worth playing around with to get it just right.
