For a richer flavor, try using a combination of wild rice and brown rice.
Adding a splash of dry sherry or white wine to the mushrooms while sautéing elevates the flavor profile.
To add a touch of freshness, garnish with chopped parsley or chives before serving.
This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving. Increase baking time by 15-20 minutes if baking from cold.
Consider adding toasted pecans or walnuts for added texture and nutty flavor.

    This is the best wild rice casserole I've ever had! The mushrooms and onions add so much flavor.

  • Eloy Spinka

    The wild rice was a little too chewy for my taste. Next time, I'll try pre-soaking it for a few hours before cooking.

  • April Swift

    This recipe is a lifesaver! So easy to throw together and always a hit at potlucks.

  • Shannon Lesch

    I added some chopped celery and carrots to the mushroom mixture for extra veggies. It turned out great!

  • Maudie Steuber

    I made this for Thanksgiving and everyone raved about it! Definitely a new family favorite.
