Mushroom Casserole

Ingredients:

• 4 cups mushrooms, sliced (any variety you like)
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or wild)
• 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
• 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
• Olive oil or butter for sautéing

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until soft. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become tender, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, sautéed mushrooms, vegetable broth, sour cream, half of the cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.

4. Transfer to Casserole Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased casserole dish. Spread it evenly.

5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and if using, add breadcrumbs for a crunchy topping.

6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the top is golden.

7. Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious mushroom casserole!

This dish can be a great side or a main course, and you can add other vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra flavor!
