From flavor to ease – you’ll definitely want this mushroom rice on the regular. The rice soaks up all those aromatic flavors from the seasonings. And then the mushrooms and bacon take it over the top. Everything happens in one pot, and it’s almost hands-off! Just sauté the ingredients and let the rice simmer on its own. If that doesn’t make you fall in love with this recipe, then I don’t know what will. Defrost frozen mushroom rice in the refrigerator overnight. Then heat it on the stovetop on low, bake it in a 350°F (175℃) oven, or zap it in the microwave until hot. Leftover rice tends to dry out, so it may need a little broth to moisten it and bring it back to its fresh glory.
What to Serve With Mushroom Rice
Mushroom rice is a satisfying and wholesome side that pairs incredibly well with oven-baked chicken breast, smothered pork chops, and steak tips. Of course, warm, buttery, homemade breadsticks are a must-have.
