Mom's Brown Rice

This was good, and I will make again. However the next time I will use Beef Broth. The beef taste was a tad over powering. But still very good, I used as a side dish to Beef Patties in Onion Gravy Recipe #37413

I tried this recipe because I was looking for a simple rice recipe, something a bit more interesting than plain boiled rice, to make on occasions when I wanted to serve food on a bed of rice. With a few modifications made to suit personal preferences, this recipe was just what I was looking for! Like sugarpea, I used butter rather than margarine and I reduced the amount by about half. I used one can of mushroom soup and one can of chicken soup – because I’m not too fond of beef – and I used one medium-sized onion finely chopped, half a dozen mushrooms, chopped, and several cloves of crushed garlic. This provided a delicious bed of rice for Kymmarie’s Sophisticated Meatballs recipe #119137, which has a mushroom sauce. A great combination, which I’ll make again.

This was WONDERFUL brown rice! I used brown rice, 2 1/2 cups of beef stock/consomme, and 60 minutes to bake it, covered. I reduced the butter to 2 T and didn't miss the other 6 T at all. Anyone would like this. Thank you, Edward.
