5 STAR REVIEWS
Mushroom rice has got to be one of my favorite side dishes – I could easily just curl up on the couch with the entire baking dish, shoveling in every last bite all by myself. My family loves this recipe and requests it often – it never disappoints. It’s a simple side dish that goes with just about anything. Often times I stir in some cooked chicken at the end and make a meal out of it!
Helpful Tips & Variations
- Rice. Long grain white rice is my preferred grain here and my pantry is never without it, but basmati and jasmine also work. Avoid using risotto rice, sushi rice, and paella rice because they will end up too sticky. I have not tested this recipe with brown rice, but typically brown rice requires more liquid and extra cooking time.
- Mushrooms. I prefer sliced fresh button or cremini mushrooms in this dish so they can absorb all the flavorful broth while cooking. However, I have made this mushroom rice with canned mushrooms (rinsed and fully drained), and honestly, it’s still super delicious. So, if you’re looking for a little shortcut, canned is fine.
- Liquid. The combination of canned French onion soup and beef consommé delivers a creamy, rich, unbelievable taste, but either or both can be replaced with beef stock, chicken stock, or vegetable stock (for a vegetarian dish.) Still good!
- Butter. This improves the texture of the rice while adding flavor and moisture and also helps prevent it from being sticky.

What to Serve with Mushroom Rice
Served as a side dish, it pretty much goes with anything. We love it with baked chicken breast, skillet steak, air fryer pork chops, and honey-soy chicken drumsticks. You could also easily turn the rice alone into more of a meal by stirring in some cooked chopped chicken or steak once it’s done cooking.
Proper Storage
- Storing leftovers. Make sure rice is completely cooled and transfer to an airtight container. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat. Simply reheat on the stovetop over low or in the microwave, stirring a few times until warmed through. Drizzle with a little bit of broth to help loosen up the grains.
- To freeze. You can also freeze this rice for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.

I made this once a couple months ago and I love, love, loved it!! I havebeen invited to a holiday dinner and plan on making this but will be doubling the recipe. TOTAL YUM!!!
I made this recipe tonight & it tastes so good. Lots of flavor & very easy. I should have doubled it. Would definitely recommend!!
This recipe was absolutely fantastic! We are a family of 6 so more was needed. Is the cook time the same if I double the ingredients and maybe place them in a 9×13 dish?
Delicious! Made it with a combination of 8 oz of Baby Bella mushrooms and a large can of canned mushrooms, and it came out perfectly. I will be making this often!
The rice mushroom recipe looks delicious,, can it be made with instant rice and use less liquid?
I’ve never tested this recipe with instant rice.
I made this tonight as a side to pork chops. My husband and I agree it was a meal by itself. Sooooo yummy!! For all mushroom haters give this recipe a try!!!
I have enjoyed so many of your recipes. Tried the mushroom rice tonight and it was very delicious however I’m wondering if the temperature is set too high. I followed the recipe exactly and when I took it out after the last 20 minutes, it was too well cooked around the edges. I couldn’t even scrape the rice/mushroom mixture off the side of the dish because it was stuck. Burnt. Next time I think I will lower the temperature to 350.
Hi Kathleen – I’ve made this recipe countless times and you can see based on the other reviews that 425F is not a problem. Sounds like you either didn’t spray your pan, didn’t have enough liquid, didn’t cover the dish, or a combination. Not sure the rice will cook properly if you lower the heat to 350F.
This was delicious! I doubled the mushrooms and added browned steak bites. My new favorite!
We made this a LOT in the 70’s and 80’s. It delicious.
This was delicious and so quick to put together! Added chicken to make it a main dish and it was a big hit with the family. This will definitely go into our regular meal rotation

My husband and I love this recipe. Very tasty!! I used baby Bella mushrooms since my grocery has a limited selection of mushrooms.
My whole family devoured this!! Thinking of mixing in some cooked ground beef next time and just serving it as a meal instead of a side. GREAT recipe, thank you!
I will definitely be trying this as I’ve been looking for flavorful rice/side dish recipes. (Flavorful being the “key word”.) I wonder if this would turn out good if topped with pan seared pork chops. Thanks for sharing your recipe Amy.
Took this dish to a work potluck. Huge hit!
Absolutely LOVE THIS RECIPE! I make it once a week! I’m wondering if you’ve ever made this with barley? I love barley and think it would add a wonderful texture.
Absolutely delicious! I paired it with a NY strip, green beans and a glass of red wine. Thank you for sharing!
