How to Make Bacon Mushroom And Rice Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish with butter.
  3. Cook 1 cup of converted rice according to package directions (or use the method in step 12). Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Cook 6 slices of bacon in a large skillet until crispy. Remove bacon and chop into large pieces. Set aside.
  5. If desired, drain off excess bacon grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet.
  6. Add 1/4 cup butter to the skillet. Saute 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 2 stalks celery (chopped), and 1/2 green bell pepper (chopped) for 4-5 minutes, or until softened.
  7. Add 8 oz mushrooms (sliced) and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
  8. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, bacon, sauteed vegetables, 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  9. Stir until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  10. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  11. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  12. **Perfect Converted Rice:** In a saucepan, combine 1 ¾ cups water, 1 cup converted rice, and 2 tablespoons butter. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed.
