Ingredients For parson's rice

  • 1 pkg
    instant rice: brown & wild rice medley (or your favorite rice)
  • 2 can
    cream of chicken soup (or cream of celery's good too)
  • 2 can
    water
  • 1 c
    peppers and onions, sliced thin or diced (or frozen seasoning blend)
  • 4-6 slice
    bacon, cooked
  • 2
    mild italian sausage links, cooked through & diced

How To Make parson's rice

  • 1
    Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees. Spray an oven-safe dish at least 7"x9" with cooking spray. Dump in the dry rice. PS: a 9x13 is safer, if you're clumsy like I am when handling 'soupy' things...:)...more room to slosh around before jumping overboard.
  • 2
    In a separate bowl, combine the soup, water, peppers, and onions. Mix well.
  • 3
    Pour the soup mix over the dry rice. Lightly stir.
  • 4
    Crumble the crispy bacon over the top of the dish. You can even sprinkle on a little shredded Parmesan cheese at this point, if you like
  • 5
    Slide the dish into a hot oven and cook until the rice is tender (about 45 mins..ovens vary) and most of the liquid is absorbed. Serve hot, or cool into portions and freeze for later.
  • 6
    To reheat frozen portions, in the oven add a few TABLESPOONS of water to the frozen rice, and bake at 400 until heated through...in the microwave, add a few TEASPOONS of water and nuke in a micro-safe lidded dish until hot. Stir & serve :)
