How to Make Baked French Rice

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x12 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted butter. Stir until smooth.
  3. Drain one (8 ounce) can of sliced mushrooms and one (8 ounce) can of water chestnuts, reserving the liquid. Add enough water to the reserved liquid to measure 1 1/2 cups.
  4. Add the drained mushrooms, water chestnuts, and the 1 1/2 cups of liquid to the soup mixture. Stir in 2 cups of uncooked long-grain white rice.
  5. Pour the rice mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hour.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the top is lightly golden brown.
