Hearty Wild Rice Recipe

My father-in-law used to make this casserole in the oven. I switched to the slow cooker so I wouldn't need to keep an eye on it. This side dish compliments many meals. - Mrs. Garnet Pettigrew, Columbia City, Indiana

NOT a good recipe. Very little taste. Cooked into mush. Would not recommend.

This was very good, although a little salty. I'll definitely be making it again, but will use a little less soy sauce. Also, be careful to not overcook as the wild rice will get mushy.
