Yummy Baked Rice With Beef Consomme and Mushrooms
“This buttery, beefy, out-of-this-world yummy baked rice made with beef consommé and mushrooms is known by many in the South as Church Lady rice. Anyone over 50 who grew up attending church potlucks knows this dish very well. I truly believe that most sweet church ladies used canned mushrooms (and it was fabulous, trust me!), but these days I use a carton of fresh mushrooms, which I sauté in butter and then add to the recipe.” – Jamie
