Recipes With Rice Beef Consomme Mushrooms
Here is the recipe for baked rice with mushrooms, beef consomme, and butter that church ladies made for potlucks and "dinner on the ground."
This Rice is a Southern Staple
Known as "church lady rice" or "mushroom rice" or "rice casserole," this dish is a yummy Southern staple. Anyone who is older than 50 who grew up attending church potlucks knows this rice very well. There would always be at least one (usually more) casserole dish of this rice at any picnic, potluck or special event.
Use REAL Butter for this Rice
Real butter is a key ingredient for this rice. Don't be tempted to use margarine. It will "work," but it won't be as good as it will if real dairy butter is used. I use unsalted; there is plenty of sodium in the soup.
Make baked rice with mushrooms ahead of time.
The rice can be made early in the day (even the day before) and reheated just before serving. It reheats beautifully in the microwave or on a very low oven (250 F to 300 F) for 15 minutes or until heated through.
What type of rice works best in the baked rice casserole?
I am a fan of Uncle Ben's converted (parboiled) rice and use it exclusively whenever white rice is called for in a recipe. It turns out perfectly every single time. It is a tad more expensive than store brand rice or bulk rice in bags (Uncle Ben's is in a box), but occasionally Publix will have it on sale BOGO.
Are fresh or canned mushrooms best for this dish?
I truly believe that most sweet church ladies used canned mushrooms for this rice (and it was fabulous; trust me). If you are a stickler for making things "bigger and better," use a carton of real mushrooms. Sauté them first in butter and then add them to the recipe.
How can you make baked mushroom rice healthier?
If you have a rice cooker and want to make a healthy (but delicious) version of this rice, you are in luck!!! I share how to make it in this blog post: Easy French Onion Brown Rice in an Aroma Rice Cooker. You won't believe how easy it is. If you don't have an aroma rice cooker, I HIGHLY recommend it. You can find it here on amazon. It is one of my most used, favorite kitchen workhorses.
