Wild Rice and Mushroom Casserole
Description
This casserole begins by sautéing chopped onions and sliced mushrooms with garlic, thyme, and rosemary in olive oil until tender. The mixture is combined off heat with cooked wild rice and cream of mushroom soup, vegetable broth, and heavy cream to create a creamy base.
Mozzarella cheese is folded into the mixture before transferring it to a prepared casserole dish. Covered and baked until bubbling, the casserole is then topped with Parmesan cheese and broiled briefly to develop a golden, melted crust. The herbs add an aromatic touch while the combination of cheeses contributes a savory depth and varied texture between creamy and crisp.
This dish can accompany a main course or serve as a hearty vegetarian option. It can be served garnished with fresh herbs for added color and flavor.
Store leftovers refrigerated up to three days and reheat thoroughly before serving.
