Quick and Easy One-Bowl Cheesy Onion Rice Bake
"This dish takes no more than 5 minutes to throw together and when you taste this rice you will eat the whole dish, it is *that* good! you could throw in 2 cups cooked chicken or turkey for a main meal, my family loves spice so I add in some cayenne pepper --- because of the high sodium content in the dry soup mix do *not* to add in any extra salt to this, you could add in the complete package of dry soup mix but for my family's taste we found it to be a little too salty --- all ingredients may be doubled --- this is *delicious*"

Delicious and super easy! I made this as directed with thrse exceptions: I used brown rice and cooked it more like an hour. I used water only (because it was all I saw in the ingredient list, so I opted for that and it was great!). I added the entire onion soup mix and then added the chicken mentioned in the description, along with frozen peas and brocoli. Served as a main dish and my family loved it! **1-2-3 tag*** -
This is really tasty and so simple to put together. I left out the celery & butter and used regular rice and fresh mushrooms, cooked for about an hour. Just like a cheesy, oniony risotto. Can also see how this would be a great main dish with meat & extra vegies added. Thanks Kitten. -
I was looking for a good side dish that used mushrooms, and this certainly did the trick. Very tasty!
