Steps:

• Set oven to 350°F.
• Butter a 3-quart casserole dish.
• In a large bowl combine the cooked rice, mushrooms and bell pepper; set aside.
• In a saucepan heat butter over medium heat; add in onion and sauté for about 3 minutes or until softened.
• Add in garlic, cayenne and thyme; cook stirring for 2 minutes.
• Add in flour and stir for about 2 minutes.
• Slowly add in cream and chicken broth; bring to a boil stirring constantly until thickened and bubbly.
• Add in mushroom soup and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese; mix until completely combined.

• Pour over the rice and toss to coat.
• Transfer the mixture to prepared casserole dish.
• Sprinkle top with about 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
• Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes or until bubbly and hot.

Steps:

• Heat butter in skillet. Finely chop onion and mushrooms. Saute both 3-5 minutes.
• Stir in rice and saute for 3 minutes longer, stirring constantly.
• Stir in the soup and consumme. I have also used chicken broth depending on what I am serving.
• Pour the mixture into a greased casserole, cover, and bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes. Check the rice after 30 minutes; if it is drying out add a little boiling water.

Steps:

• Make the bread crumbs -- In a small food processor, take a couple slices of bread and process till you get fine crumbs. Measure out 1 1/2 cups. Then you can either buy ground or chopped fine pecans or you can grind your own. I like to buy the small 1/2 cup packages when I only need a small amount. In a large saute pan, add the the butter and melt on medium high, add the bread crumbs and nuts and cook until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes is all it takes. Remove and let cool.
• Rice -- Make the rice according to directions. Any time I cook with rice, couscous, etc., I try to use chicken or vegetable broth rather than water to cook the grains. It just adds so much flavor with little work, but that is optional. Cook the rice and add to a 13x9 greased (or sprayed with pam) casserole dish.
• Vegetables -- In that same pan we made the bread crumbs in (no need to use another pan), heat the olive oil and butter on medium heat and add the fennel, onions and mushrooms and cook on medium until they have become translucent and the mushrooms tender, about 7-10 minutes. then add the thyme, parsley salt and pepper and mix well. Add this to the rice in the casserole dish and lightly mix.
• Sauce -- Once again in that same pan, add the butter and melt on medium, then add the flour and mix to make a roux. Let it cook just a minute. Now add the milk and stir well. Add in the sherry and then the seasoning. Bring to a medium boil just until it slightly thickens and then add in the shredded cheese and stir. Cook until nice a creamy and thick. Should resemble a nice cheese sauce. Pour this mixture over the rice and vegetables. Lightly toss to combine.
• Topping -- Top with those bread crumbs and bake at 350 for 20 minutes until bubbly and the bread crumbs are golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish., Cover and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and stir; bake until bubbly and rice and vegetables are tender, 20-25 minutes.

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees (set oven rack to second-lowest position).
• Pam spray a 2-quart casserole dish (or one large enough to hold the mixture).
• In a skillet heat water over medium heat; add in onion, celery and green bell pepper; cook stirring over medium heat until softened (about 5 minutes, adding water as needed) or until well softened adding in garlic the last 2 minutes of cooking, place the mixture into the bowl.
• Add in soup, milk, drained canned mushrooms mayonnaise, sour cream, black pepper, garlic powder and cooked cold rice; mix with a wooden spoon until well combined adjusted black pepper and adding in a small amount of salt to taste (I use seasoned salt).
• Transfer to prepared casserole dish.
• Sprinkle parmesan cheese evenly over the rice mixture.
• Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes.
