4.1 from 1 review

A comforting and hearty Wild Rice Mushroom Bake combining nutty wild and long grain rice with sautéed mushrooms, onions, and creamy Parmesan sauce, baked to tender perfection and topped with sliced almonds for added crunch.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 40 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

Rice and Broth

  • 1 cup uncooked wild rice
  • 3/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups boiling water

Mushroom Mixture

  • 1 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Additional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Sauté Mushrooms and Onion: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion, cooking gently until tender and browned, which enhances their natural flavors.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the sautéed mushroom mixture along with uncooked wild rice, uncooked long grain rice, sliced almonds, chicken broth, heavy whipping cream, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Transfer and Bake Covered: Grease a 2-1/2-quart baking dish generously. Pour the rice and mushroom mixture into the dish, spreading evenly. Cover the dish with aluminum foil or a lid and bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 75 minutes.
  4. Uncover and Add Cheese: Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven, uncover it, and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the bake.
  5. Final Baking: Return the uncovered dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the rice is fully tender and the cheese has melted to a golden finish.

Notes

  • Wild rice and long grain rice cook at different rates; combining them with sufficient liquid and covering during baking ensures even tenderness.
  • Sautéing the mushrooms and onions before baking deepens their flavor and prevents excess moisture in the casserole.
  • The sliced almonds add a pleasant crunch contrast to the creamy rice bake.
  • Use a 2-1/2-quart baking dish to allow enough room for the rice to expand and cook evenly.
  • To make this dish vegetarian, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth and use a vegetarian Parmesan or omit it.
