This is a "Top of the List Casserole" for my husband and me. There is something about the wild rice and the other ingredients that go so well together. All the ingredients can be from your shelf and/or freezer. I have served this to family and friends alike and everyone has liked it.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Hail to the dinner casserole! This reminds us of an old-fashioned chicken and rice casserole ... with a twist. Adding mushrooms, pimentos, and wild rice makes this chicken casserole a little extra special. Overall, this dish is creamy and cheesy with great flavor. It's nice to prepare dinner and have meat and veggies combined... a delicious timesaver.
