Another use for leftover rice other than fried rice or pudding. Thanks Sue.
Sounds like a wonderful quick dish!
A perfect way to use up leftover rice with lots of mushroom. Love this rice dish.
yum! What a perfect way to reinvigorate leftovers!
Great way to use leftover rice. I easily cut recipe in half for 2 servings and since I didn’t have onion soup mix on hand I used beef bouillon powder and dried onion flakes. Served with meatloaf and green beans. Thus is a keeper on Imthink it would work with chicken bouillon also.
