Hungry But Tired? Try This Easy Baked Mushroom Rice [Recipe]

This baked mushroom rice can be a lifesaving recipe sometimes. You may not think of this dish at all, but if you try it, this mushroom rice will become a staple quickly. It also helps that you will only need to follow a few steps to prepare a wholesome meal.

Cook This Baked Mushroom Rice And Enjoy A Satisfying, Easy Meal!

To prepare this delicious dish, use long grain rice, butter, celery, onion, mushrooms, chicken broth, water, soy sauce, and parsley flakes.

Switch out some of these if you need to. Try using quinoa, cauliflower rice, oil, carrots, green onions, vegetable broth, tamari sauce, and cilantro.

As always, remember to preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. To get the right flavor, start by sautéing your uncooked rice, and then stir in all the ingredients. It may seem unconventional, but it truly works!

Once all the ingredients are in the saucepan, place it in the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the rice is soft. Be sure to move things around and try the rice often to ensure that it is ready. In some cases, the baked rice may be ready quicker than this time, so start a timer for half the time and check on your rice then.

If you want to make this meal more satisfying, you can consider adding chicken, pork, shrimp, or tofu. Some people like to add cashews or peanuts for crunch. Finally, if you like a more intense flavor, consider adding red pepper flakes, teriyaki sauce, or sriracha to your baked rice.

Now you can enjoy the flavors of fried rice without the added fat and calories! This recipe saves you time and effort as well, by allowing the oven to do all the work.

Serve your baked rice hot and enjoy it as a side dish, or a main meal any day!
