SO HOW'D IT GO?
I found this to be kind of bland. Perhaps the GW broth is the key, I couldn't find any so I used regular vegetable broth, or maybe it's just because I'm a spice addict and this really didn't have any. Obviously others liked it just fine, but I likely will not try it again. It wasn't bad, it just didn't have a lot of flavor to me.
This recipe is GREAT!!! I did however run into a problem with the rice not cooking well. I suppose if you put the casserole in the oven with the lid on for a half an hour, then take the lid off the remaining time it will cook the rice better!! The flavor is awesome. I used a Harvest Sun Vegetable Boullion cube since I cannot find the Washington kind in our area and I didn't have a can of mushroom soup on hand so I used mushroom gravy with a little rice milk and it worked fine! Also, I didn't have Vegex....I don't even know what it is...haa haa!!
I look forward to making it again and again ;)b Thanks!
