I loved this recipe, but tweaked it a bit for a Texas casserole and used a Dutch oven. Follow the recipe as directed. Additionally, I added 1/2c additional half and half (instead of cream throughout the recipe, additional 1/4c white wine and jalapenos (ad lib to the sauce and cooked the sauce on low for an additional 10 minutes. I added the ground chicken to the sauce, poured over the rice and incorporated my oven baked bread crumbs and mixed it together in my Dutch oven for additional at 200 degrees for an additional 15 minutes. I was glad I did as my husband asked if there was meat in this dish: This is an amazing standalone casserole (or hotdish, depending what you call it.

This is a great dish and it could be 5-stars with a few tweeks. Like most Paula Deen dishes, its just over the top with the amount of butter she uses. Over two sticks in total for 6 servings?? yikes! I made this dish with just a 1/2 stick and I actually thought it tasted better. With over two sticks, butter dominates the flavor and makes it taste greasy. On one occasion, I didnt have many of the ingredients, so I only used wild rice mix, mushroom, onion, chicken broth and 3 tbsp of butter. It was a much more simple flavor, but it went great with baked chicken!

I made this tonight to try as a side dish for a dinner party. I was really disappointed in it. Maybe I was expecting too much because it was one of Paula's recipes. I changed two things which I don't believe made any difference....I used one stick of butter to saute the vegetables, and I used half and half instead of the heavy cream. I simmered it a bit longer since half and half is thinner. I also did not care for the bread crumb topping.

Great dish! I used two boxes of Uncle Ben's long grain and wild rice and cooked as directed and I added a little seasoning. I used the 2 sticks of butter, but I will only use 1 stick next time to saute the mushrooms and onion. I only used 8oz of fresh sliced mushrooms; but I added 1 cup of cream of mushroom soup, 1 Tbsp of minced garlic and 1/2 pound of truffle cheese. I did use the 1 cup of heavy cream and I did not use any sherry. Once everything was mixed together I put it all into a baking dish and sprinkled the top with the other 1/2 pound of truffle cheese. I took Texas Style cheese and garlic croutons, crushed them up and sprinkled them over the top. This is a very heavy version but taste soooooooooooooooo good. I will be ok eaten in moderation.

My husband and I loved this side dish! I read the reviews prior to making this dish. I did half the recipe and I have plenty for leftovers. I may try some of the other ingredients mentioned in the reviews but it was really good as is. My husband loves cayenne pepper so he added this heat to his second helping and he liked it even more. I did not add the crumb topping, either. We didn't need the extra calories. ;- So glad to add this dish to our list of grain recipes because this is definitely a keeper. Thanks Paula!

I feel this recipe is missing some flavors... such as celery, thyme, and a couple tablespoons of soy sauce.

Benjord, your husband may not be a rice fan but wild rice is NOT a rice, it is a grain! It just looks like rice. I have not made this but I love wild rice. Have eaten it from the time only certain native Americans were allowed to grow it and sell it.

Great recipe, but to much butter. I only used 1/2 stick butter, half and half instead of cream, and a little more wine. Much healthier and still tasted great!

Yummy!! I made this for today for lunch. We have never had Wild Rice before so this was our first time. My husband and my daughter enjoyed it. My husband it not a rice fan but he enjoyed this and said this is so much better than white Basmati Rice that I cook and he will eat it again.

I used Trader Joes raw Wild Rice, Costco Baby Bella Mushrooms, Fresh and Easy unbleached All Purpose wheat flour, half and half (original from Target and half and half from Trader Joes (only because I didn’t have one cup of Target brand and Target market Pantry unsalted sweet cream butter.

It took more than one hour to cook the Wild Rice. Next time I will buy the cooked Wild Rice from Trader Joes which is easy and $1.00 less.

Made this on Sunday along with Roasted Spicy Mayo Chicken Breasts and Pan Fried Asparagus. Great dish, I omitted the buttered bread crumbs and substitued the sherry with white wine. Could not find raw wild rice by the lb so I purchased 2 boxes of Uncle Ben wild rice. Thought that 2 sticks of butter was a little to much, we all know how Paula just loves butter LOL. Next time I will only use 1 stick.
