This is a favourite comfort food for my family, but differs from the above recipe. Milk burns easily, so I suggest using a can of water instead & adding another can of cr of mushroom (or other cream soup). Also, place the ingredients in a casserole dish and bake at 350 for 1 hr with the lid on, and 1/2 hr with the lid off. Make other variations to suit your tastes. Adding fresh dill, garlic, fresh mushrooms and/or cheese can make all the difference in the world.
My mom has made this for years and it is one of my favorite dishes. One thing to remember though rice does absorb liquid so you may want to add milk if you notice it drying out. Since I have been making it I pre-cook my rice then add all the other ingredients and bake it for 25 to 30 minutes just to heat everything up.
I followed this recipe step by step and it definetly does not take 3 hrs. I re did it and in less than 1 hr. the rice was burnt.
1 1/2 cans of milk means using the empty soup can to measure milk with.
Made it without onion and t was AMAZING!I made this recipe with the onion and it was to strong. Then I made it again for all-time sake without the onion and it was TERRIFIC!!!! it was amazing whoever put this recipe in deffinatly needs to lose the onion!!
Well I'll never do that again. After all that waiting stirring adding liquid adding spices taste testing and baking. It just wasn't worth the trouble. My boyfried felt bloated after one serving but still gave it 3 stars. (He wasn't the one who had to cook it.) It tasted like baked gruel with freeze dried chicken when all was said and done. (Sorry Kris.) Such things should only be consumed in prisons. Can't wait to scour that pan for 90 minutes. Urbanites turn back!
This recipe is SO OLD. It's the first one I made about 35 yrs ago for an old, old boyfriend. I would only recommend it for the novice cook, otherwise it's very bland and boring.
a strong onion flavour that will knock your socks off
I think I am going to try it with minced dried onions instead of the soup mix--since many people didn't care for strong taste...and it's so much cheaper and healthier than those salty packages. I am also going to use some white wine and water instead of the milk.
