directions
- Combine soup, water and rice in pan, bring to boil, stir once. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 45 minutes. Stir to mix; pull off heat and let set for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine all canned vegetables in a bowl to mix evenly, set aside.
- Combine yogurt and spices until well mixed, fold into rice until well distributed.
- In a 9 x 13” baking dish layer ½ of the vegetable mixture, then ½ the rice mixture followed by ½ the cheese. Repeat 1st two layers. Evenly intersperse French fried onions for next layer, top with remaining cheese.
- If you made this ahead of time and it is just coming out of the refrigerator, place in a cold oven and bake for 45 min at 475 degrees. Otherwise it might be bubbly and done after 30 minutes or so.
- I served this as a side for a store bought roast chicken that I reheated at the same time until the bird had an internal temp of 165 degrees.
- The next night --
- we had French Onion, Rice and Vegetable Casserole – Revisited --
