Convenient canned mushrooms dress up chicken bouillon-flavored rice in this easy recipe from Anita Miller of Sartell, Minnesota. "I used to prepare this dish when we were first married," Anita notes. "Now that the kids are grown and we're retired, I'm using it again."

2 tablespoons chopped onion
2 teaspoons butter
1 can (7 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
2/3 cup water
1/3 cup uncooked long grain rice

1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/8 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper

Directions

In a saucepan, saute green pepper and onion in butter until tender. Add mushrooms; heat through. Stir in the water, rice, bouillon, parsley, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 14-16 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.

We've been making this I think since it was published in 2005. It's our go-to rice recipe to accompany fish. We all love it!
