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.

I wanted to cut down the fat and cholesterol in this recipe so I upped the wine, halved the butter and used fat-free half & half instead of cream. I thought it tasted fantastic! My husband is not a big onion or rice fan and he ate half the batch. I did add a splash of lemon juice and a bit of parsley and I topped it with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese.

would have given it 5 stars if it didn't have so much butter! halved the recipe, cut back on the butter. used white wine instead of sherry. no bread crumbs, watching the carbs. and finally, baked it in a casserole dish sprayed with pam! yum!

This was an absolute taste bud pleaser. I substitued the buttered bread crumbs for garlic & herb bread crumbs and it is delicious! Thank you Paula for such great recipes.
