Sounds really good.. I’ll have to give it a shot one of these days.. I think Im gonna make this soon, but Im not going to precook the rice.. It would be great with any kind of meat, I think.
Ann says
I think most ground meats would work too, Kim. If for some reason it comes out blank with a less flavorful meat, salt and pepper to taste should be all it needs once cooked.

What is wondra?.
Ann says
This is wondra. It is actually formulated to dissolve quickly. You could sift four tablespoons of flour 2-3 times, and add that instead. It will not be the same, so make sure you whisk out any lumps!

Here’s another good one…
1 c long grain rice
1 stick butter, I always cut it up
1 can Campbell’s beef consomme
1 can french onion soup
1 can mushrooms, I use the large can
Bake at 350. I don’t remember how long to bake but I would say at least 1 hour
